you need to open a SSH session
and use your favorite editor nano, vi, etc
its located at
/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

httpd.conf question

Ok I found it!
Do I just move it to my local machine and open it with wordpad and paste the lines that tech support gave me and then save it and move it back and then reboot?
Is that it?
Thanks,
Dave

Why not just
1. ssh in
2. su -
3. cd /etc/httpd/conf
3. cp httpd.conf httpd.conf.saveme (always good to back up the config before making changes)
4. nano -w httpd.conf (if nano does not work try pico instead)

and edit away

Also you do not have to reboot your server to apply changes to httpd.conf just go to whm and navigate to restart services and click http server (apache)

My server's video works initally when booting but then I get an error saying something about xwindows not liking the video card. How do I uninstall or remove xwindows? Will my video work ok after removing it?
Thanks.

So WHM won't edit httpd.conf? I thought you are suppossed to shy away from directly editing httpd.conf with cpanel. I need to add a domain to a site's 'server alias' field. Any way to do this via WHM?

 

[cPanelDavidG]

It is generally good practice to use cPanel and WHM to handle your configurations (EDIT: rather than manually editing configuration files) as it will ensure that such items will not be accidentally erased or overwritten during upgrades.
