The `/etc/apache2/httpd.conf` is empty in Ubuntu, because the Apache configuration resides in `/etc/apache2/apache2.conf`!


**“httpd.conf is for user options.” No it isn&#39;t,** it&#39;s there for historic reasons.

Using [Apache server][1], all user options should go into a new `*.conf`-file inside `/etc/apache2/conf.d/`. This method should be &quot;update-safe&quot;, as `httpd.conf` or `apache2.conf` may get overwritten on the next server update.

Inside `/etc/apache2/apache2.conf`, you will find the following line, which includes those files:

    # Include generic snippets of statements
    Include conf.d/

As of **Apache 2.4+** the user configuration directory is `/etc/apache2/conf-available/`. Use `a2enconf FILENAME_WITHOUT_SUFFIX` to enable the new configuration file or manually create a symlink in `/etc/apache2/conf-enabled/`. Be aware that as of Apache 2.4 the configuration files must have the suffix `.conf` (e.g. `conf-available/my-settings.conf`);


  [1]: http://httpd.apache.org/

It&#39;s empty by default. You&#39;ll find a bunch of settings in `/etc/apache2/apache2.conf`.

In there it does this:

    # Include all the user configurations:
    Include httpd.conf



OK - what you&#39;re missing is that its designed to be more industrial and serve many sites, so the config you want is probably:

    /etc/apache2/sites-available/default

which on my system is linked to from `/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/`

if you want to have different sites with different options, copy the file and then change those...


It seems to me, that it is by design that this file is empty.

A similar question has been asked here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2567432/ubuntu-apache-httpd-conf-or-apache2-conf

So, you should have a look for `/etc/apache2/apache2.conf`

In SAML metadata file there are several NameID format defined, for example:
 

    &lt;NameIDFormat&gt;urn:mace:shibboleth:1.0:nameIdentifier&lt;/NameIDFormat&gt;
    			
    &lt;NameIDFormat&gt;urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:unspecified&lt;/NameIDFormat&gt;
    			
    &lt;NameIDFormat&gt;urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient&lt;/NameIDFormat&gt;

Can anybody explain what are these used for? What are the differences?

I have 2 branches A and B.

Whenever I run a build, Branch A gets merged into Branch B. I want to be able to email out all the updates made in A, since the last time the build was ran.  How can I use `git log` to be able to copy all the commits made in A since the last A -&gt; B merge?

Thanks!

Edit: I saw your answers but on wampserver httpd.conf is not empty and as you mentioned it is for user options. SO what should I do?

I have recently been trying to install PHP and Apache on my computer. After many hours, they&#39;re installed. I have modified the httpd.conf and php.ini files like everyone says. I then created a simple PHP script:

    &lt;?php phpinfo(); ?&gt;

But when I try to run it with `http://127.0.0.1/phpinfo.php` it just shows the source code instead of executing it. I am using Apache 2, PHP 5 and Windows Vista. 

EDITED LINES:

PHP.INI:

    short_open_tag = On

HTTPD.CONF

    LoadModule php5_module &quot;C:/php/php5apache2_2.dll&quot;
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
    PHPIniDir &quot;C:/php&quot;

Apache shows PHP code instead of executing it

I am having issue on PHP where my app is trying to run a php backup file and suddenly getting HTTP Error 500 Code. I have checked the logs and this what it saying.

&gt; [Tue Aug 28 14:17:28 2012] [warn] [client x.x.x.x] (104)Connection reset by peer: mod_fcgid: error reading data from FastCGI server, referer: http://example.com/backup/backup.php

Anyone knows how to fix this? I&#39;m really stuck in here and can&#39;t find solution in internet.

Hope anyone could share their knowledge.

Thanks.

Connection reset by peer: mod_fcgid: error reading data from FastCGI server

How can I find where my `httpd.conf` file is located?

I am running an Ubuntu Linux server from the Amazon Web Services EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) and I can&#39;t find my Apache config.

Lost httpd.conf file located apache

I have a server from AWS EC2 service running on Linux ubuntu and I have installed apache, php, and mysql.

I have added a `.htaccess` file in my document root `/var/www/html`.

I entered this code in it: 
`ErrorDocument 404 /var/www/html/404.php` and it is still not showing up.

I kept entered this command multiple times: `sudo service httpd restart` to restart the server but no changes displayed...

How can I fix this... Did I do something wrong?

.htaccess ErrorDocument 404 not showing up

I can&#39;t get my site to use gzip compression.

I recently watched this [video][1] by Chris Coyier over at css-tricks.com. In the video, he talks about enabling gzip compression to make websites run faster. 

As per his instruction, I linked through to github via html5boilerplate.com, copied the gzip compression code from their .htaccess file, pasted it into my own, and uploaded it to my site.

I&#39;ve tested it via gzipwtf.com and it doesn&#39;t seem to work. Can anyone help me with this?

How can I get Apache gzip compression to work?

I&#39;d like to add to PATH the value &quot;:/home/me/play/&quot;  
for the installation of Play! framework.  
so I ran this command:  

    PATH=$PATH:/home/me/play

it worked. but in the next time I checked, the value changed back to the old one.  

so I guess I didn&#39;t &quot;saved&quot; the new value, right?  

how do you do that?  

change PATH permanently on Ubuntu

My question is very similar to Stack Overflow question *https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2743647*.

I have tried the solutions presented, but they appear to be old. I have found [a solution][1] that nicely handles the toolbar and menus, but not a solution that reduces the size and padding of the disproportionately large tabs (and label) within the panes (see the tab &quot;Package Explorer&quot; in the screen below).

I am happy with the way my OS-wide GTK theme is customized and don&#39;t want to change that. Is there a quick fix to reduce the tab sizes of the panes in Eclipse?

I&#39;m using Eclipse for Mobile Developers (Juno) on Ubuntu 12.04.  I&#39;ll also mention that I really like the way Eclipse appears out of the box in Windows 7, so something similar to that would be ideal.

Here are the eclipse specific GTK styles I&#39;m using:

    style &quot;eclin&quot; {
        GtkButton::default_border={1,1,1,1}
        GtkButton::default_outside_border={1,1,1,1}
        GtkButtonBox::child_min_width=0
        GtkButtonBox::child_min_heigth=0
        GtkButtonBox::child_internal_pad_x=0
        GtkButtonBox::child_internal_pad_y=0
        GtkMenu::vertical-padding=1
        GtkMenuBar::internal_padding=1
        GtkMenuItem::horizontal_padding=4
        GtkToolbar::internal-padding=1
        GtkToolbar::space-size=1
        GtkOptionMenu::indicator_size=0
        GtkOptionMenu::indicator_spacing=0
        GtkPaned::handle_size=4
        GtkRange::trough_border=0
        GtkRange::stepper_spacing=0
        GtkScale::value_spacing=0
        GtkScrolledWindow::scrollbar_spacing=0
        GtkExpander::expander_size=10
        GtkExpander::expander_spacing=0
        GtkTreeView::vertical-separator=0
        GtkTreeView::horizontal-separator=0
        GtkTreeView::expander-size=12
        GtkTreeView::fixed-height-mode=TRUE
        GtkWidget::focus_padding=0
        font_name=&quot;Liberation Sans,Sans Regular 8&quot;
    }

    class &quot;GtkWidget&quot; style &quot;eclin&quot;
        style &quot;eclin2&quot; {
        xthickness=1
        ythickness=1
    }

    class &quot;GtkButton&quot; style &quot;eclin2&quot;
    class &quot;GtkToolbar&quot; style &quot;eclin2&quot;
    class &quot;GtkPaned&quot; style &quot;eclin2&quot;

Here is a screenshot of what my IDE looks like with the huge tabs:

Very large tabs in Eclipse panes on Ubuntu

I want to change the time zone set in my Amazon EC2 instance running Ubuntu Linux to local time? 

**My Question**

How to change the time zone in Amazon EC2?

How to set the time zone in Amazon EC2?

&lt;!-- language-all: lang-none --&gt;

My problem started off with me not being able to log in as root any more on my mysql install.  I was attempting to run mysql without passwords turned on... but whenever I ran the command 

    # mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &amp;

I would never get the prompt back. I was trying to follow [these instructions to recover the password](http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/recover-mysql-root-password.html).

The screen just looks like this: 

    root@jj-SFF-PC:/usr/bin# mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables
    120816 11:40:53 mysqld_safe Logging to syslog.
    120816 11:40:53 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql

and I don&#39;t get a prompt to start typing the SQL commands to reset the password. 

When I kill it by pressing &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt; + &lt;kbd&gt;C&lt;/kbd&gt;, I get the following message: 

    error: &#39;Can&#39;t connect to local MySQL server through socket &#39;/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock&#39; (2)&#39;

    Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: &#39;/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock&#39; exists!

If I retry the command and leave it long enough, I do get the following series of messages:

    root@jj-SFF-PC:/run/mysqld# 120816 13:15:02 mysqld_safe Logging to syslog.
    120816 13:15:02 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
    120816 13:16:42 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid ended
    
    [1]+  Done                    mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables
    root@jj-SFF-PC:/run/mysqld#

But then if I try to log in as root by doing: 

    # mysql -u root

I get the following error message: 

    ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can&#39;t connect to local MySQL server through socket &#39;/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock&#39; (2)


I checked and `/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock` file doesn&#39;t not exist. The folder does, but not the file.  

Also, I don&#39;t know if this helps or not, but I ran `find / -name mysqld` and it came up with:

    /var/run/mysqld - folder
    /usr/sbin/mysqld - file
    /run/mysqld - folder

I&#39;m new to Linux and MySQL, so I don&#39;t know if this is normal or not. But I&#39;m including this info just in case it helps.


**I finally decided to uninstall and reinstall mysql.**

    apt-get remove mysql-server
    apt-get remove mysql-client
    apt-get remove mysql-common
    apt-get remove phpmyadmin

After reinstalling all packages again in the same order as above, during the phpmyadmin install, I got the same error:        

    ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can&#39;t connect to local MySQL server through socket &#39;/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock&#39; (2)

So I tried again to uninstall/reinstall. This time, after I uninstalled the packages, I also manually renamed all mysql files and directories to `mysql.bad` in their respective locations.

    /var/lib/mysql 
    /var/lib/mysql/mysql
    /var/log/mysql
    /usr/lib/perl5/DBD/mysql
    /usr/lib/perl5/auto/DBD/mysql
    /usr/lib/mysql
    /usr/bin/mysql
    /usr/share/mysql
    /usr/share/dbconfig-common/internal/mysql
    /etc/init.d/mysql
    /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/mysql
    /etc/mysql

Then I tried to reinstall `mysql-server` and `mysql-client` again.  But I&#39;ve noticed that it doesn&#39;t prompt me for a password.  Isn&#39;t it supposed to ask for an admin password? 

error: &#39;Can&#39;t connect to local MySQL server through socket &#39;/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock&#39; (2)&#39; -- Missing /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
