[users@httpd] New User 101 question: How do you open and save you httpd.conf file
When I install Apache (I've had to do it a few times now) and I find my
httpd.conf file, It does not open normaly.
The windows list pops up and say select which program you would like to open
this file with.
So I select the note pad. (so far so good?)
Then if I change a line of it, what do I save it as? The note pad can only
save as text as far as I can tell. So I have save mine as text.
I am begining to get the feeling that this is not the way to change your
httpd.conf file.
Last time I changed it, it messed everything up, so I simply saved it back
to the way that it was in the first place (however, since I opened and saved
it with note book ands save it as a txt file it wasn't the exact same as it
was in the first place) Or was it?
Thanks for any advice.

Kent,
After you've made changes to your httpd.conf file, just hit 'ctrl + s'
and it will save the file. If Notepad for some reason adds '.txt' after
the filename, just remove the '.txt' and move the file to your server.

In the real world, we wouldn't need this, because everyone uses
Unix/Linux and VI or gEdit and they don't try to control things for you,
they just do what you tell them to!!
Sorry for taking up bandwith please don't ban me!

You may be running into a problem with Notepad automatically
appending .txt onto the filename when it saves it. You can get
around this by putting the file name in quotation marks
("httpd.conf") when you save it.
Notepad is perfectly suitable to edit Apache configuration files.
(Now everyone can chime in with their favorite Windows text
editors...)
