Trying to secure my servers but can't find the httpd.conf file

(and search doesn't work on my servers... i hate windows)

Any idea which directory httpd.conf might be in?

Are you using Apache on Windows in the first place, just wondering. From experience with users out there, most people probably would use IIS.

Cheers

The default installation directory for Apache on Windows is

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\

...or something like that. Once there, the httpd.conf file should be in
the "conf" directory.

Hope this helps!

Warm Regards,

If you do use Apache, check the conf directory below your Apache installation (somewhere in c:/Program Files if you haven't changed from the default).

I remember something about newer versions of Apache don't having a httpd.conf. There are other config files you can use, and when using virtualhosts you can put it in the virtualhost config.

It definitely does have an httpd.conf, but the base httpd.conf file only contains the basic global configurations, like which modules to load.  SSL, Vhosts and other settings are then included from conf files in the "extra" directory. 

So to setup a virtual host, you'd look in {apache-root}/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
