Configuration Apache Web Server Under Linux

Apache has three main configuration files: access.conf, httpd.conf, and srm.conf. If you are running Red Hat 4.0, these files will already be set with the correct directory paths. If you centralized the locations of all these files, but made those symbolic links as I mentioned above, things will still be fine since the symbolic links preserves where Red Hat installed everything.
If you are doing a "generic" installation or have some other setup, then you will need to do the following:
In access.conf, change/update these directory entries:

    <Directory /httpd/html>
    <Directory /httpd/cgi-bin>

In httpd.conf:

    ServerRoot /httpd

In srm.conf:

    DocumentRoot /httpd/html
    Alias /icons/ /httpd/icons/
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /httpd/cgi-bin/

Essentially, these are the necessary directives in the config files that need to be updated with the new "centralized" organization.
For further configuration options, I will have to give the standard statement, "Please refer to the docs." :)
