Dunno. Have you read dump's man page?

/bin/ls

Tells you which directory this program came from. (given that an arbitrary
number of directories, as per the PATH env var, can be searched). Usually
used when you roll your own replacement to a std program, and what to be
sure that you're getting /home/me/bin/ls and not /bin/ls.

Also, if it's a script, you may see the idiom

        vi `which myscript`

Saves you having to cd there, or write out the canonical pathname.

Apache, the http server supplied with RedHat has the necessary smarts to do
this by itself. Have a look at its documentation, or go to
http://www.apache.org for more details.
