Re: Edit httpd.conf file

[Kelerion <kelerion thenewmatrix net>]

*chuckles* I made the exact same assumption with that file after using 
the GUI and then looking at the file directly... the GUI seems to add a 
few lines at the beginning of the file..

there is something you can do about it overwriting the file though.. at 
the end of the file add something like "include 'myhttpsettings.conf'" 
(that might be the wrong syntax but it's the right idea... the GUI 
shouldn't get rid of it and then you can (or your boss) edit 
myhttpsettings.conf without messing around with the main config.. also 
if it's a different domain he wants to play with then just give him 
access to vhosts for that particular domain..

hope that helps

cheers
