php - Where can I find / how can I create a new HTTPD Conf -


i've been developing website using local wamp server, on own laptop.

i purchased domain, , deployed website there.

so far, works fine, except : "public_html" folder on host-server did not have few files, thought should there default.

(1) .htaccess (2) php.ini (3) httpd.conf

the first 2 no problem. can create new ones myself (or, copy-paste ones use on wamp server)

however, httpd.conf file mystery me.

firstly, have no idea located. domain-hosting service using linux-based (not matters, guess)

secondly, could, of course, copy httpd.conf file have on wamp server. but, copy ? copied straight public_html folder, solved nothing.

my reason needing httpd.conf because, amongst other things, need modify many settings, important being : mod_rewrite. need enable mod_rewrite, can configure .htaccess file.

i searched online, , found many references httpd.conf, nothing remotely resembling situation

i contacted so-called customer support service on domain registrar. said (and quote) : if want make modifications domain configuration, create file, write configuration code there, , save file : .user.ini , save file in public_html folder".

well, solution did not sound right me. but, did anyway. copy-pasted contents of own httpd.conf file new .user.ini file, , saved public_html folder.

result: still nothing.

.htaccess
* maybe .htaccess in wrong location (determined httpd.conf)
* maybe .htaccess has wrong name (determined httpd.conf)
* maybe .htaccess includes directives not allowed (determined httpd.conf)
* http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/htaccess.html

php.ini
* httpd.conf there "global" copy in case may able "override" particular settings
* chopy/paste copy elsewhere starting point or build 1 need
* http://php.net/manual/en/ini.php
* find location of php.ini , configuration create test.php follows...

<?php phpinfo(); ?> 

...then point browser @ it.

httpd.conf
* provided has global copy in place not have access , have controls in place limit user-configured directives in own .conf - you'll have contact provider specifics
* try accessing /server-info , /server-status (though not enabled default don't surprised if 404s) - give insight configuration
* httpd.conf should not reside in publicly accessible folders
* http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/

you best suited directing questions provider.

hopefully helps.
