there is something you can do about it overwriting the file though.. at the end of the file add something like "include 'myhttpsettings.conf'" (that might be the wrong syntax but it's the right idea... the GUI shouldn't get rid of it and then you can (or your boss) edit myhttpsettings.conf without messing around with the main config.. also if it's a different domain he wants to play with then just give him access to vhosts for that particular domain..
hope that helps

Boy, now I do feel like an idiot. I can definitely say it's been a
week's worth of Monday's so far. Apparently in my httpd.conf there's
probably 75-100 blank lines at the beginning of the file. So, therefore
it looked empty to me. I'd like to apologize for being an moron. Maybe
I should RTFM. Either way, editing it by hand does me no good anyway,
running the GUI configuration destroys any hand edited changes I might
make, so I'll have to do it that way anyway. Maybe I'll teach my boss
vi instead.

Subject: RE: Edit httpd.conf file
I have never used the GUI to configure httpd, in fact, I didn't know it existed. It really seems like you're mistyping something. What are the contents of :
ls -l /etc ls -l /etc/httpd ls -l /etc/httpd/conf

Yeah, I get that. The point is, when I vi the file it's blank. Even when apache is stopped. I get a [NOEOL] message at the bottom of vi. It's a bit aggravating that I can't apparently edit the .conf file without using X and the redhat-config-httpd app. Surely they intend on making CLI editing an option at some point right?

when apache is installed you *should* get a ready made httpd.conf in either /etc/httpd.conf or /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf or similar... just need to tweak it for your config..

Okay, how do I edit the apache configuration file running a headless server and SSHing to the box itself? The httpd.conf file is blank when
I vi it. I've not done much in the way of apache config in a long time, so it looks like I'm having to start over. Is it something easy?
