[users@httpd] Redhat Generated httpd.conf

I have two (beginner) questions about httpd.conf that is generated by RH 
7.3's apache configuration program.

1.  The apache configuration tool doesn't respect my document types.  If I 
give it a list, say "index.php, index.htm, index.html" in the conf program 
for a specific virtual host, save it (at which time it warns me it's going 
to overwrite a manually configured file) and then check the generated 
httpd.conf - there's no DirectoryIndex directive for the virtual host in 
question - in fact it removes the existing one.  What's the deal there?


2. I seem to have aquired duplicate <Directory> entries:

First one - near the top

><Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
>	Options ExecCGI
>
>	AllowOverride None
>	Allow from all
>
>	Order allow,deny
></Directory>

Second one at the bottom

><Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
>     AllowOverride None
>     Options ExecCGI
>     Order allow,deny
>     Allow from all
></Directory>

Any reason I couldn't just remove 1?


Thanks

 you're better off with editing the httpd.conf manually. Just make a copy of
 httpd.conf to httpd.conf.orig - make your changes - and test
  /usr/sbin/httpd -T
 Syntax OK
