where is httpd.conf in slackware 9.0
it doesnt seem to be in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf where it is on redhat 9. can someone help thanks

I think:
/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
or
/usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf

but my apache is custom compiled.

Maybe its in this directory /etc/apache or /etc/apache2

The easies way I have found in finding file is to use th following from the cmd line: find -name filename.txt

This is run from the / dir so it will search all dir./subs's and will take a few minutes accceptings wildcard charactors as well. i.e. find -name filename* would still find filename.txt and any variation of "filename".

or "locate httpd.conf"

[flw]

There was a downside to "locate" although I can't remember what it was, find -name's downside is time to process because it does a real time search of all dir's vs the "locate" method which works but does work differently.

"Locate" uses a temp datebase or something so anything new may not be picked up or something like that which is why its faster. J if you rememer if you could shed some light on the differences since my mind is very foggy on it.

well... i have a deafult apache install on slack 9.0... and its in /etc/apache/

[big_k105]

well i guess i should have looked alittle more. o and the reason i had asked is i couldnt get locate to work something about the slocate.db is missing or something. and find jst wouldnt find it i dont know. it was odd. i will try tonite. i was jst used to it being in /etc/httpd directory not /etc/apache directory. thank for the help guys
