Description Doug Campbell 2000-10-06 15:28:52 UTC 
I customized my apache httpd.conf after installing RH6.2 to service my 
users and to provide virtual hosting capabilities based on directory.  
During upgrade using the boxed RH7.0 workstation distribution, the 
customized httpd.conf was overwritten by a "vanilla" version which 
rendered the serviced site inoperative.

Apache installs over an existing apache installation should preserve the 
contents of user-writable configuration files either by merging or 
renaming.

Sorry, found http.conf.rpmsave; rpm does what I desired.
