HTTPD doesn't care how many files your configuration uses. You can include as many <VirtualHost> directives in a single file as you want. To quote from [the documentation](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/ configuring.html): > In addition, other configuration files may be added using the Include directive, and wildcards can be used to include many configuration files. Any directive may be placed in any of these configuration files.
The only time you need more than one config file is if you are running more than one httpd process on a single server. You can then specify which configuration file each one should read to start up using the `-f` parameter. - Y On Sat, Jun 10, 2017 at 6:33 PM, Ian Pilcher <arequip...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 06/09/2017 01:30 PM, Carlos Cruz wrote: > >> I hope for my first question my questions isn’t too stupid but I haven’t >> been able to figured out my problem.
