It's always a good idea to make any custom changes in your own config files. I generally do not modify the Gentoo provided httpd.conf at all and then load in my own configs to make changes afterwards. Makes merging changes from Gentoo easier. I usually put mine in /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/ 000_httpd_tweaks.conf 00_default_vhost.conf www.badapple.net.conf and so on. At first it seems like Gentoo is forcing you to jump through hoops and making your life complex. In some ways it is. However I've found that creating specific config files keeps you from losing settings when you migrate to new servers or update your server in just about any distro of Linux. It's a good habit to get into. kashani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
