Thank you
Customize? You simply change the file to fit your needs, save and restart apache. It pretty much depends what you want to do. What you are asking is "Can somebody customize KDE for me?" It could be icons, wallpaper, font size/color... etc.
i get this message when i stop running the server(apachectl stop):
no pid file
when i run the server and put in my ip address in the browser window,it wouldnt go through.
what necessary changes do i have to make in the httpd.conf file ?please be specific.if someone could post their httpd.conf file,it would be helpful.thank u.

1) What distribution are you using? I ask this, because some distributions has different commands to start a service. As example, SuSE starts Apache with "rcapache2 start" ratter than the command you are using above. If you run Mandrake, you might want to use Mandrake Control Center instead (though, the command line would be fine).
2) Are you behind a firewall/router? If so, you need to forward port 80 (default) to the machine running Apache (on your router settings, nothing has to be done with httpd.conf). Still, you should be able to hit the machine locally with the machine's internal IP address.
3) by the looks of your error message, you don't have apache running.
4) you also have to be more specific with us . Report all error messages you are getting, "It wouldn't go through" is a bad example of error message... Even the commands you are typing to start the service (and eventual error messages) would be nice!
5) I don't think you need to edit anything on httpd.conf. You should first check if the service is running (which I don't think it is) and router/firewall settings.

bro,
We are using red hat 9.0.
No firewall
This is a part of an assignment
What has happenned is each time when we type apachectl start the inbuilt linux version of the apache starts up.
We were asked to download and install our version of apache in /web/servers/httpd_2.05
We were asked to start our apache
This is what we did
The original httpd.conf of the generic apache from RHL was commented and disabled.
When we try to start the apache from bin it says
0.0.0.0:443 socket error
ip not found so resolving to127.0.0.1
Most important error - Says no pid there for httpd.pid is not working, this means that our webserver is not even up.
In the httpd.conf we tried to include a pid in the logs directory - no avail
We then tried to point it to the pid of the generic RHL apache no use
Please guide us bro, we are very screwed and our final is in 4 hours. You are a life saver . THanK you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry if I sounded rude or something mate!. That was not meant to be . Anyway, the only system I've now running Apache (httpd.conf)is SuSE and that file would be pretty much useless for you . Here's mine:
Quote:
#
# /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
#
# This is the main Apache server configuration file. It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/> for detailed information about
# the directives.
# Based upon the default apache configuration file that ships with apache,
# which is based upon the NCSA server configuration files originally by Rob
# McCool. This file was knocked together by Peter Poeml <poeml+apache@suse.de>.
# If possible, avoid changes to this file. It does mainly contain Include
# statements and global settings that can/should be overridden in the
# configuration of your virtual hosts.
# Overview of include files, chronologically:
#
# httpd.conf
# |
# |-- uid.conf . . . . . . . . . . . . . . UserID/GroupID to run under
# |-- server-tuning.conf . . . . . . . . . sizing of the server (how many processes to start, ...)
# |-- sysconfig.d/loadmodule.conf . . . . .[*] load these modules
# |-- listen.conf . . . . . . . . . . . . . IP adresses / ports to listen on
# |-- mod_log_config.conf . . . . . . . . . define logging formats
# |-- sysconfig.d/global.conf . . . . . . .[*] server-wide general settings
# |-- mod_status.conf . . . . . . . . . . . restrict access to mod_status (server monitoring)
# |-- mod_info.conf . . . . . . . . . . . . restrict access to mod_info
# |-- mod_usertrack.conf . . . . . . . . . defaults for cookie-based user tracking
# |-- mod_autoindex-defaults.conf . . . . . defaults for displaying of server-generated directory listings
# |-- mod_mime-defaults.conf . . . . . . . defaults for mod_mime configuration
# |-- errors.conf . . . . . . . . . . . . . customize error responses
# |-- ssl-global.conf . . . . . . . . . . . SSL conf that applies to default server _and all_ virtual hosts
# |
# |-- default-server.conf . . . . . . . . . set up the default server that replies to non-virtual-host requests
# | |--mod_userdir.conf . . . . . . . . enable UserDir (if mod_userdir is loaded)
# | `--conf.d/apache2-manual?conf . . . add the docs ('?' = if installed)
# |
# |-- sysconfig.d/include.conf . . . . . .[*] your include files
# | (for each file to be included here, put its name
# | into APACHE_INCLUDE_* in /etc/sysconfig/apache2)
# |
# `-- vhosts.d/ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . for each virtual host, place one file here
# `-- *.conf . . . . . . . . . . . . . (*.conf is automatically included)
#
#
# Files marked[*] are created from sysconfig upon server restart: instead of
# these files, you edit /etc/sysconfig/apache2
### Global Environment ######################################################
#
# The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache,
# such as the number of concurrent requests.
# run under this user/group id
Include /etc/apache2/uid.conf
# - how many server processes to start (server pool regulation)
# - usage of KeepAlive
Include /etc/apache2/server-tuning.conf
# ErrorLog: The location of the error log file.
# If you do not specify an ErrorLog directive within a <VirtualHost>
# container, error messages relating to that virtual host will be
# logged here. If you *do* define an error logfile for a <VirtualHost>
# container, that host's errors will be logged there and not here.
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error_log
# generated from APACHE_MODULES in /etc/sysconfig/apache2
Include /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/loadmodule.conf
# IP addresses / ports to listen on
Include /etc/apache2/listen.conf
# predefined logging formats
Include /etc/apache2/mod_log_config.conf
# generated from global settings in /etc/sysconfig/apache2
Include /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/global.conf
# optional mod_status, mod_info
Include /etc/apache2/mod_status.conf
Include /etc/apache2/mod_info.conf
# optional cookie-based user tracking
# read the documentation before using it!!
Include /etc/apache2/mod_usertrack.conf
# configuration of server-generated directory listings
Include /etc/apache2/mod_autoindex-defaults.conf
# associate MIME types with filename extensions
TypesConfig /etc/apache2/mime.types
DefaultType text/plain
Include /etc/apache2/mod_mime-defaults.conf
# set up (customizable) error responses
Include /etc/apache2/errors.conf
# global (server-wide) SSL configuration, that is not specific to
# any virtual host

# List of resources to look for when the client requests a directory
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var
### 'Main' server configuration #############################################
#
# The directives in this section set up the values used by the 'main'
# server, which responds to any requests that aren't handled by a
# <VirtualHost> definition. These values also provide defaults for
# any <VirtualHost> containers you may define later in the file.
#
# All of these directives may appear inside <VirtualHost> containers,
# in which case these default settings will be overridden for the
# virtual host being defined.
#
Include /etc/apache2/default-server.conf
# Another way to include your own files
#
# The file below is generated from /etc/sysconfig/apache2,
# include arbitrary files as named in APACHE_CONF_INCLUDE_FILES and
# APACHE_CONF_INCLUDE_DIRS
Include /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/include.conf
### Virtual server configuration ############################################
#
# VirtualHost: If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/>
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.
#
Include /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/*.conf
# Note: instead of adding your own configuration here, consider
# adding it in your own file (/etc/apache2/httpd.conf.local)
# putting its name into APACHE_CONF_INCLUDE_FILES in
# /etc/sysconfig/apache2 -- this will make system updates
# easier
as you see, the approach of "including" one file inside another makes it difficult to read .
