.htaccess - How to Enable CORS for Apache httpd server? (Step-By-Step Process)

Question

I was wondering if anybody can help me set up CORS on my Apache web server. I would appreciate a step-by-step process because many sites online are telling me different things. Like what do I need to do on my httpd.conf or ssl.conf files, where to put my .htaccess file, etc.

Answer 1

# edit your conf/httpd.conf file.  Verify that the headers module is loaded
LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.so

# to whitelist every origin, use
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
