Hi all,
To test your configuration file, run a 'apachectl configtest'. it'll test
the syntax for you.
Since you probably do have an error in there somewhere, I'll also point out
that httpd.conf has a format different from most other config files. (Lines
following comment lines are counted as comment lines. see the notes in the
file for more info.)
As a side note, the only thing I had to change was the 'document root' and
it was good to go.
Good luck,
Clayton
