.  

You can 

refer to these explanations when customizing the file for your environment

You 

can also refer to any generally available Apache documentation on HTTPD.CONF.

Note the following about HTTPD.CONF on OpenVMS:

written for the OSU server.

■

UNIX-style path names are recognized by OpenVMS

.  

You can use either 

UNIX-style or OpenVMS-style path names in the configuration file

However, 

you cannot intermix the two styles within a specification.

In an OpenVMS Cluster, you can specify either clusterwide or system-specific 
files.

Perform the following steps to configure Apache to run while using an account

the entry in the httpd.conf file. 

Restart the Apache Server if it is already running.
