It is true that conf.d is distro specific (Debian in this case) however apache does support the use of a directory in the Include statement.
The way I was trying to set this up was the original filename begins with an 'e' and I set up the custom file to begin with a 'p' My logic is that the system would parse the 'e' file then the 'p' file. I see in the docs that apachectl configtest is supposed to display a list of files being parsed, but on my Debian system it does not display them. So my question is, is the way I am trying to accomplish this supposed to work? -----Original Message----- From: Vincent Bray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 20, 2006 11:11 AM To: users@httpd.apache.org; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] conf files in conf.d directory Hi, On 10/20/06, Tony Heal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a conf file that has multiple RewriteRule lines.

However the directive used for this is 'Include'. You could use a name for an included which sorts lexically before the others but I *believe* getting a consistent sorting order depends on your filesystem. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#include -- noodl --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
