>Environment:
Windows NT 4.0 sp3
>Description:
If I combine all .conf files into httpd.conf and put the following statements in httpd.conf
# allow all 3 config files to reside in httpd.conf
AccessConfig /dev/null
ResourceConfig /dev/null
 or 
AccessConfig nul
ResourceConfig nul

I get the following type of errors:
[c:\apache]apache -S
[Sun May 31 10:59:18 1998] [error] Access to file c:/apache/nul denied by server: not a regular file

fopen: No error
httpd: could not open document config file c:/apache/nul

[c:\apache]apache -S
fopen: No such file or directory
httpd: could not open document config file /dev/null

Under 1.3b6 redirecting to nul worked fine
