Can't find httpd.conf
Solution 1
Ubuntu doesn't use httpd.conf
as standard, instead global configuration stuff for apache is found in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
. You can create a httpd.conf
in the apache2 directory, and load any further configuration from it by including the following line in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.
Include /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
You don't need that file to configure apache, but you can create it if other software relies on it being there.
Solution 2
httpd.conf
will be in /etc/apache2/
.
/etc/apache2$ ls
apache2.conf envvars mods-available ports.conf sites-enabled
conf.d httpd.conf mods-enabled sites-available
:/etc/apache2$ more httpd.conf
:/etc/apache2$
I need to change it
No, you do not. The documentation states:
httpd.conf: historically the main Apache2 configuration file, named after the httpd daemon. Now the file does not exist. In older versions of Ubuntu the file might be present, but empty, as all configuration options have been moved to the below referenced directories.
because when I try to open a .php page I see a download box
How would changing httpd.conf
fix that?
If you need config settings changed I would assume you need to alter apache2.conf
or the virtual host in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
.

I cannot find
httpd.conf
. I need to change it because when I try to open a .php page I see a download box.How should I proceed?

Rinzwind almost 9 yearsI believe you are asking the wrong question. The question you should ask is "how do I prevent this download box from showing" + "see the image I added". If that would have "edit httpd.conf with..." as an answer ou'd have a good q and good a. Now you will get negative answers about httpd.conf where you have no interest in since you still have a download box ;)
