Johnson,
OK..I'm going to make an assumption here and that is that since the
httpd binary is no located under /usr/local that your not using the
config. file in /usr/local.
This is a big assumption, and you should investigate further to be certain.
Check both config. files for the "DocumentRoot" setting, place a sample
web page in each different DocumentRoot then try going to your server
via a web browser or something like wget.
You could test this theory by placing a simple web page(as seen below)
in the "DocumentRoot" of each different config. file:
FILE NAME: index.html
FILE CONTENTS: Here is my sample web page for location /usr/local/httpd.
PERMS: chmod 644 index.html
If your page shows up from a particular spot, then your using the config
under that file name.
I'm sure there's also a way to check this via the binary..you might try
something like : "strings /usr/sbin/httpd | grep -i HTTPD_ROOT"
Taking a look at the man page, you also can see the purported ServerRoot
directory:
-d *serverroot*
"Set the initial value for the ServerRoot directive to
serverroot. This can be overridden by the
ServerRoot directive in the configuration file. _*The
default is /etc/httpd*_."
Other than that, just testing is probably the quickest way.
Good Luck!
Thanks,
---Dean.
