Re: [SL] Newbie needs help...

just a quick note - look for similar entries in the conf files.  the 
apache file (this is /etc/apache/httpd.conf on most distros) is in 
several sections.

also - if you get a 'bible' type linux book they usually have a chapter 
on apache.

good luck - it may seem daunting at first but apache is relatively easy 
once you've got going.

i've sent my my httpd.conf file to your personal email for reference,
