I nano into /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf These settings do not exist in the file. I even used CTRL+W (search) and its not in there. My host told me those settings don't exist in that file anymore, but he didn't say where though. Where could possible be?
Are you sure they aren't in a separate file which gets included in httpd.conf? If not, just add them in.
lol? is your host insane? how does an httpd.conf go missing? are you sure the apache install is in /usr/local/apache Very strange for an httpd.conf to be empty/missing variables unless someones been playing.
you can add those lines manually it's not a problem, the question is are you editing the correct file?
I have apache 2.x I think the settings may be in etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-mpm.conf Though I'm not sure, I just found this out a while ago. I check the file and there is some settings in there! Anyone can confirm this?
Yes, that's the file thats meant to be included to set those settings. You would have to check your httpd.conf to see if it's being included though (check at the bottom).
