Hi, FWIW, this discussion happened about four years ago, see
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2004-November/msg00726.html (note: the thread continues into December 2004) It might be useful for people to reread the thread there.

So one conclusion from that thread, if I remember correctly, is that the fact that gnome-user-share is using Apache shouldn't disrupt any system-wide configuration of Apache. The way it works is that gnome-user-share feeds a separate configuration file to the Apache HTTP daemon running in the user context. The fact we disable httpd in the default install in Fedora has nothing to do with this; that's just Fedora policy, off topic for this discussion. As a data point we've been shipping gnome-user-share in Fedora since 2004 and haven't had issues with it or complaints from people using Fedora as a web server. Hope this helps.
