going nuts over apache

[y2kdis]

i have debian and made a default install of apache 2. when i tried to look for the httpd.conf so i could edit the document root i got the following:

./usr/share/apache/default-configs/apache-perl/httpd.conf
./usr/share/apache/default-configs/apache/httpd.conf
./usr/share/apache/default-configs/apache-ssl/httpd.conf
./etc/apache2/httpd.conf

i reckon it's the second file that i should edit because the fourth one is almost empty. the first and third, on the other hand, don't seem like it. anybody here know the relationship between the second and the fourth file?

also, i've read at some site about "apachectl" but i can't run that command or find that file in my system. what should i do to install or activate it?

You need to take a look in /etc/apache2 review all the config files in that area..

the main config file in Debian for Apache2 is called: apache2.conf

httpd.conf is a leftover for backward compatability purposes

you may also want to look a the files in the sites-enabled directory if you plan on using virtual servers.
