Activity $10-4$: Using Apache Configuration Files

$1)$ If the terminal window is still open, switch to the root user. If you don$$t have a terminal window open or if

$3)$ View the default$-$server.conf file$$s contents by typing less default$-$server.conf and pressing Enter. Read

the comments and directives, and write down the following information. When you$$re finished, type q

$4)$ View the virtual host template$$s contents by typing cd vhosts.d;less vhost.template and pressing Enter.

configuration files, what suffix must you add to the filename for it to load successfully? Type q to return to

the command prompt when you$$re finished

$5)$ Change back to the $/$etc$/$apache$2$ directory by typing cd $..$ and pressing Enter. Choose two other

configuration files to examine. Configuration files have a lot of information that explains the purpose of
