aha! i finally get to add something to a post from nate! after munging your apache config files* in /etc/apache/, tell apache to reload its settings using the APACHECTL command: apachectl graceful or force a hard shutdown/restart of the apache server via apachectl restart or at least <snooty tone of voice> that's the preferred method according to what i've read </snooty>. the apache config files are, by default, httpd.conf, access.conf and srm.conf ... originally, back in the old days (pre 1.3?) there was a reason to split up the stuff among these three files. but with 1.3.9 at least, apache can have it all in one easy-to-munge, gargantuan file httpd.conf. to get apache to ignore the other config files, put ResourceConfig /dev/null AccessConfig /dev/null in your httpd.conf file, and it'll read your linux bitbucket so you won't have to worry about srm.conf and access.conf any more... see http://www.apache.org/info/three-config-files.html for the full poop. mostly.
