1898144 - Installation docs shouldn't tell you to modify the httpd.conf file

Status: NEW

(Bugzilla :: Documentation, defect)

Description

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

https://bugzilla.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing/apache.html#apache recommends making changes to the main httpd.conf file. This is not a best practice in most production environments as the distro tends to replace that file wholesale with updates. Most distros provide a configuration includes directory (conf.d or sites-available) in which you can drop files that can override parts of the config. We should recommend doing that instead.
