Do I need these things????

[webmastadj84]

I need to know if I need all these things inside the apache config file. I am trying to clean it up to what I need exactly.

Here are the items that I am questioning:

Also, do the main file have to have a DocumentRoot, Server Admin, etc.? Basically this is how it I am going to have it set-up. Starting with two sites. All the sites are going to be in one directory: /var/

http://www/sites.

The first site will be /var/

http://www/sites/site1

and the second will be /var/

http://www/sites/site2.

So as you can see, I don't need a general site. Currently don't need any logs to be running either. I will be running php and mysql though.

NO LOGS?????????????????????????????????????????

Are you trying to change the httpd.conf to try and make it run faster by removing things?

 

[webmastadj84]

No, I am just trying to condense it to only the things I need. I am trying to learn it and have 500 lines of code that I really don't need is not helping. If I need them, I will add them later...simple as that.

There are really only a few items here, just repeating. Find out what they are and, if you need them, leave them in.

http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/docs/setup/srm/AddIconByType.html

has a good description of "AddIconByType", for instance. If you're not providing directory indexes, then I'd say you can remove those directives.

I would create a backup first. Then you can delete anything you don't like in steps. If you break something, then you'll know what you need to put back. To answer your question, I don't think great harm will come if you delete those lines. Also, if you are going to be using virtual hosts, the 'main' never gets served so you can comment those lines out or delete them. The first vhost defined will become the default server. You may find it easier to put all your vhosts in their own file. Usually it's called vhosts.conf and is in the conf.d directory. Look for the 'Include' directive in httpd.conf and it will show you which directories and file extensions are included.
