Tutorials on Webservers using Mandrake?
 

Actually anybody know where the httpd.conf file is? Also there are multiple .conf files.

Assuming you're using 2.x, /etc/httpd/conf/httpd2.conf but most of the settings you will want to fiddle with are in /etc/httpd/conf/commonhttpd.conf.

yeah i found it thanks. The only problem is that i couldnt find an option to change the listen port? Do u think it would be easier to use apache ver 1.xxx instead of 2.xxx?

I'd stick with 2.xxx for security issues...
Bug fixes and such --

Just my two cents..

Ok, do u have any examples of your .conf files. I am trying to set up my webserver to listen on port 10496 instead of 80.

Its clearly in the config file under or uner the Main Server config and you will see the line:

Port 80

Just change the port there and restart apache for the changes to take affect.

And personally apache 1.3.x is stable, the latest release is 1.3.29 which is just as stable as the 2.0.x series, just different options and sooner or later they hope to get 2.0.x as stable as the 1.3.x series.

I'll switch to 2.0 when perchild mpm and php works. I'd assume the php issues have been worked out by now since that would have been something of a priority, but they seem to be dragging their heels on perchild mpm. 1.3.29 is great but if you're just starting out and 2.0 will do everything you want, you might as well start with it..
