[users@httpd] how to comment out a large section in httpd.conf?
Hi,
The document http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/configuring.html says:
==
Directives in the configuration files are case-insensitive, but arguments
to directives are often case sensitive. Lines that begin with the hash
character "#" are considered comments, and are ignored. Comments may not
be included on a line after a configuration directive. Blank lines and
white space occurring before a directive are ignored, so you may indent
directives for clarity.
==
Any way to do block comments, such as using /* and */ rather than add '#'
for each line?
Thanks in advance,
Bing

Solution 1; google for mod_comment.
Solution 2: Hack it with <IfDefine SomeUndefinedNonsense>

Yes and no - it's ok to have incorrect syntax, but if there's some
other </IfModule> directive without corresponding <IfModule...> inside
the block you're commenting out, it will terminate "comment".

If using something like the following example, does the syntax need to be
correct inside the block?
<IfModule qwzyqjz.c>
...
</IfModule>

No. You can use <IfDefine notdefined> ... </IfDefine>, but the stuff
inside probably still needs to be syntactically correct, so use it
with care.
