So, if I understand this correctly I should be putting my changes in
"/usr/sbin/apachectl" and not "/etc/sysconfig/httpd".
So if I want to have a variable available to me in httpd.conf that contains
the server's host name that I am running on, what do I need. I have tried
variable=$(hostname) and variable=`hostname` and when I use that variable in
httpd.conf is always resolves to the actual literal "$(hostname)" or
"`hostname`".
The naming convention for our hostnames tells us if it is a development server
or a production server. I want to use that to create http.conf files that are
more generic across all our apache servers.

Couple of starter points
1) the apache httpd project is not responsible for the distribution
specific builds. The /etc/sysconfig/httpd thing is a red hat-ism.
2) you should contact red hat for support on that
In general /etc/sysconfig/httpd (which at some point will be deprected
-it already is with fedora as systemd generally doesn't use
/etc/sysconfig files) are simply ./sourced into the init script
environment. So if the particular VARNAME value is actually USED by the
distro init scripts and passed into it's httpd configuration, it will be
used. If it's not, then it doesn't actually have any impact at all. So
you'll want to look more closely at the init script and the httpd
configuration files to even know if what you're trying to do in
/etc/sysconfig/httpd is doable.
