Very Off Topic - but only briefly. I want to contribute SOMETHING to you guys - since you've been so much help to me!

To educate non-unix folks, you could also use the Terminal and do this:

Why not just look in the Apache docs. They tell you where everything is located.

On OS X, reference the Apache docs by opening your browser, going to URL: http://localhost/ and the Apache default page is returned. There is a documentation link there which takes you to the Apache man pages and there is a wealth of information on the error logs, config files etc. Just drill down through the links and you will find
all you need about how Apache works, and where it stores its files.

Also, if you open the Console, there is a list of all log files, including the httpd files. The paths to these files are displayed in the drop down menus..

1. If you haven't recently updated your locate database - type the following (the $ is just the prompt - don't type it!):
$ sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb
Password: (type you system admin password here)
(wait for a looong time while it builds the database of all of your file names)

$ locate httpd.conf (or any other file you're looking for)
OR
for finding executable files (programs, etc):
$ whereis apachectl

For more info type:
$ man locate
OR
$ man whereis

To quit man pages type "q".

Hope that helps some folks.


Regards,
Stephen

Anyone know where Tiger (10.4) keeps the httpd.conf file? It used to be in /etc/httpd.conf on Panther, but a Spotlight search doesn't turn up any files with this name. Is Apache now using a different file name for that under Tiger?
