[users@httpd] /etc/httpd/conf/ vs /usr/local/apache2/conf/
I have 2 conf files exists in my Redhat 8.0 box.
one is under /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
and another is on /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
which one should I modify? I tried both. webserver is up and run. but I
could connect to server.
I chose install webserver when I first time set up Red hat 8.0. where
did it install at the first place?
Thank you,

You can set "ServerRoot /usr/local/apache2", not that I think it's a
good idea. The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard,
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-3.7.html, says that local machine
configurations belong under /etc.
"Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
3.7 /etc : Host-specific system configuration
3.7.1 Purpose
/etc contains configuration files and directories that are specific to
the current system.[footnote 4]"
RH seems to be quirky in its file hierarchy, so when you have a choice,
put yourself on the side of righteousness and use the accepted
standards.

You have a RIGHT to your opinion---even if it is crap.

My apache is using /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. but I installed apache2 /usr/local/apache2/.
How can I make all related configuration dir to /use/local/apach2 ?
Thanks.

Thanks, I found out it is using /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. but I
installed apache2 /usr/local/apache2/.
How can I make all related configuration dir to /use/local/apache2 ?
Your help is appreciated..

I have a simple suggestion, though it is probably very inelegant and
not the best way.
Make a backup of both httpd.conf files somewhere safe.
Edit one of them, and fill it with garbage, or just type nonsense, or
write something that should not be there.
As root, type apachectl configtest.
If all is well, then you know that it is not using the one you messed
up.
