The Apache HTTP Server is configured via simple text files. These files may be located any of a variety of places, depending on how exactly you installed the server.
If you installed httpd from source, the default location of the configuration files is /usr/local/apache2/conf. The default configuration file is usually called httpd.conf
.
The configuration is frequently broken into multiple smaller files, for ease of management. These files are loaded via the Include
directive.
The server is configured by placing configuration directives in these configuration files. A directive is a keyword followed by one or more arguments that set its value.
