That includes compiling into apache that it's config file is apache.conf. As well as not using httpd.conf any more, two other stupid files, srm.conf and access.conf are "officially" merged into apache.conf as well. If you're nervous about consigning httpd.conf to the bit bucket, try this: cd /usr/local/etc/apache mv http.conf Httpd.conf /usr/local/sbin/apachectl -t (Tells apache to do a syntax test on its default conf file) If apache complains about bo config file, you know it's using httpd.conf. Otherwise it's using apache.conf. Probably. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
