httpd.conf file importance

[prashant.talele]

Hi,

I am in process of setting of new application, which is a mirror of the current one. The difference I see is with the httpd.conf.

The httpd.conf is there on the new env, but not present on the current one.

below are the location it is there on the new env:
/usr/share/doc/mod_perl-1.26/eg/httpd.conf.pl
/usr/share/apacheconf/httpd.conf.xsl
/etc/sysconfig/ha/conf/httpd.conf
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Can you advice me, if this files is important or what could be a possible impact if I remove it.

you can locate your actual httpd.conf apache config file by using below command:
$httpd -V
