Can not edit httpd.conf


Hello!

I use a redhat 9 system.

I´ve been desperately trying to even SEE what is in my httpd.conf, but when I vi httpd.conf I get a strange message on the bootom line... It´s

"httpd.conf" [noeol] 1183L, 35580C

So that means, no end of line, right? Why can I not see any code?

Anyway, the file seems empty, while I have a running httpd. Even when I stop the httpd I can not see nor edit nor add any information.

I´m painstakingly trying to get my virtual host configuration right, but how can I do this when I can not edit this information?


Thanks!

Well I´ll be damned!

You´re right! I´m really dreadfully ashamed now!

What is all this space good for? Can I take it out?
