Quick question about where to configure apache?

My friend decided to move from a $10/month shared server to a $120/month dedicated server.

I am trying to help him migrate his Drupal/Gallery2/PHPBB2 webstie....

Only I don't know how to setup Apache via WHM or cPanel or whatever.

I have only setup test servers under windows & used shared sever not WHM cPanel & Red Hat 5.

So 1) Whats the proper way of editing the http.conf file? I am guessing its via WHM or cPanel rather than just editing the file with a text editor.

I know how to build apache and php, just not how to change the .ini and .conf once I am done.

2) This is less important but if anyone knows the best version of apache to run for Drupal/Gallery2/phpBB2 I wouldn't mind knowing. 1.3, 2.0, 2.2?

Anyway I don't need help with the settings just need to know the *proper* way to access them.

 

Thanks

Thanks, I had already created the accounts.

I didn't know the location of those files on linux, or if it was safe to manually edit them.
I assumed that either WHM or cpanel gave GUI access to those configuration files, and manual edits might conflict with that.
I edit them manually on my windows server so going in via SSH and editing them manually (using pico?) isn't going to be a problem.

 

Thanks

Yeah I discovered that I can add stuff via cpanel that gets appended to the httpd.conf file.

But finding and manually editing the http.conf let me get things working until I figured that out.

Anyway thanks everyone for the help.

I have an entire book on WHM/cPanel and when I run out of things that needed done yesterday I will sit down and read it, and the book on Apache, and Red Hat, ....
