default file & webservers

[Mark Peoples]

My guess is for S&G.

It's not hard to use three files though. In your httpd.conf, look for the
lines below and uncomment them.

#ResourceConfig /etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf
#AccessConfig /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf

(I compiled with --sysconfdir=/etc/httpd/conf)

They did it for simplicity, which makes sense. It's probably easier to edit
just one file instead of multiple ones. But, I use each one for different
tasks... httpd.conf for apache-wide stuff (like loading modules),
access.conf for additional  VirtualHost and Directory tags, and finally
srm.conf for associations for parsing, eg, distinguish between php3 and
php4, etc etc.

Another reason I like having it split amongst multiple files too for
automated tools sake. It's easier to parse a file whose format I know
instead of having to skip over a bunch of junk to get where I want.

I am curious; why did they consolidate to one file? Security reasons?
I always liked the three files: made it easier to know where to go
when I had to tweak something.
