The config file /etc/sysconfig/httpd is not included in httpd package even /etc/init.d/httpd uses it. When looking for config files by rpm -qc httpd it does not show this config file. Because Apache show dates in auto-generated indexes in language given by current locale when the server is started, this could be good to mention this in an example of /etc/sysconfig/httpd like his: $ cat /etc/sysconfig/httpd # set your own environment for runnnig httpd daemon here # uncomment next line to show dates in indexes in english # instead of language given by system-wide locale #LANG=C
RHEL3 U3 hasn't the file too.
Thanks for the report. With respect to the $LANG setting, FYI: httpd is started with LANG=C by default for FC3 onwards. A sample /etc/sysconfig/httpd is also now included as of httpd-2.0.50-6. You would you like to see the example /etc/sysconfig/httpd included for future RHEL3 updates?
This is fixed for RHEL4.
