redhat-config-httpd question

[McDougall, Marshall (FSH)]

You want to be careful about rpm based apache after you are used to source
based apache because the source based apache builds it all under
/usr/local/apache and the rpm based stuff drops it all over the place i.e.:
/sbin/httpd /etc/httpd/conf etcetera etcetera.

Thanks for the input about redhat-config-httpd. FYI, I found the same
thing out about redhat-config-bind as well.

I've been building apache, php and squirrelmai from source, so I have
all my configuration files already anyway. I'm hoping that moving to an
rpm base for my software from a source base will ease configuration
management for me.
