Igor That's amost the same as Debian is doing (the only linux I'm running atm)... /etc/apache2/apache2.conf / some standard apache config stuff then lines to include... # Include module configuration: Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.load Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.conf # Include all the user configurations: Include /etc/apache2/httpd.conf # Include ports listing Include /etc/apache2/ports.conf # Include generic snippets of statements Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/[^.#]* /etc/apache2/conf.d/ / site specific config files (I think) /etc/apache2/envvars / any standard vars (I've not got any) /etc/apache2/httpd.conf / this file is basically empty too /etc/apache2/magic / usual magic instructions /etc/apache2/mods-available/ / contains *all* known module information /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ / contains links to the modules in mods-available you want to use /etc/apache2/ports.conf / just a listen 80 instruction here! /etc/apache2/README / Huh, think you can guess ;) /etc/apache2/sites-available/ / contains all sites you might want this installation of apache to host /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ / links to the sites to you want to enable from sites-available /etc/apache2/ssl / ssl files Hope this helps. J. PS, I agree with Igor, untar the installation files into /etc/defaults/etc/apache2/... and postinstall copy as appropriate :)

There's a reason for that - Debian is the only linux _I'm_ running atm. :-) [snip Debian layout] The Debian layout is nice, though I hesitate to depart so far from the upstream package as they do, especially when 2.2 is approaching, bringing with it a redesigned standard config layout.
