Thankfully it's not that bad. RHEL (and Fedora) have a=20
/etc/httpd/conf.d/ directory that holds a number of sub confs. In=20
httpd.conf you'll notice it will include all *.conf files in this=20
directory. This makes life a lot easier as you can store your=20
extensions/virtualhosts as seperate config files in here rather than a=20
monolithing httpd.conf. You will see one in there called php.conf which=20
contains the AddHandler line.
