I looked at it but it's hard to understand. I couldn't find where it actually

Ok. As it cannot find the correct httpd.conf file I have to do it like this.
But I suspect even if it would, it wouldn't work anyway as we use two main
config files and includes specific module config files using the scandir
feature (Include conf.d/*.conf). SUSE does it like that too, as well as
RedHat, PLD, ALTLinux, and perhaps many more. As a non root user I do not
have permissions to write a PidFile or LockFile unless it's in a directory I
have permissions to.
I would be happy if I could disable this inherit_config thing so it does not
search for any configuration files at all.
