Apache Configuration Files

There are two main files used to configure Apache

There are several other files in these directories. Other services that work with Apache will install their own configuration files in the same directories.

Default Configuration

The http.conf files includes all of the files in conf.d as stating in the first line

Each directory, file or module to be configured is contained in <> brackets

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
</Directory>

There are a large number of directives used throughout the files There are too many to list here - please see http://localhost/manual/mod/quickreference.
