You're doing the right thing - you must simply be editing the wrong config file (this is a likely problem if you have several installs and are not sure which one is running).
If you do "ps -ef" you should see the full path to httpd (eg /usr/local/apache2/httpd). Then if you do:
$ /full/path/to/httpd -V and look for SERVER_CONFIG_FILE it will tell you where its default config file is.
Other tricks:
- put a deliberate syntax error in the config and do a configtest: it should complain
- look for "-f" in the ps output (this is the flag to select a particular config file).
