There is yet one reason against: I doubt, that this change can be made without major retouching of apache internals at least config files and command line arguments must be heavily rewritten. They have so-called WWW server root and keep config, error, and log files under it. All efforts to move config files from server root to etc can only cause more confusion. Apache itself search config files under <server root>/conf/httpd.conf by default. Of course it can be tuned by command line arguments f.e. but it leads down to more complexity and confusion, and disallow easy migration from another OSes Apache-handled servers to FreeBSD. All peoples restart their httpds just by killing them and entering 'httpd' again at command prompt. With change you want they must to enter additional long command line arguments and it is completely unwanted thing. -- Andrey A. Chernov <ache@nagual.ru> http://www.nagual.ru/~ache/
