I'm having trouble editing httpd.conf, I have cpanel 11. Now I go to nano /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf This is all that is in the file I also check those Include files they don't even exist. I nano them and there is nothing. Where the heck is the httpd.conf This is starting to burn my arse. I just want to edit the maxclients and timeout. EDIT: Ctrl + V = Next page. Oops Still new to the Linux
its good for you to have an empty httpd.conf that gives you the opportunity to learn step by step your apache correctly instead of having to go thru a bunch of errors made by others. you nowhere mentioned your apache version hence the links are for the newest apache2.2 http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/configuring.html default layouts http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/configuring.html same for other dists http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/DistrosDefaultLayout a complete overview of apache doc is found at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ a typical dist has a complete example httpd.conf included. assuming you have offline the same OS as your server - then look at your own config to copy and paste and adapt to your server's need.
Note If your httpd.conf file corrupted or deleted, you can re-generat it using the given command /scripts/rebuildhttpdconf Vivek
Another excellent SSH graphical client is WinSCP which makes easier edit manually teh httpd.conf file just by copying and pasting the generic available at the apache documentation. Although my hubby says that cpanel creates automated backups of that file and you may easily find them inside the /etc/httpd directory
