If you manually edit the httpd.conf I do not think it will replace it. Seems like I got a warning that my httpd.conf was saved as httpd.conf.rpmnew and the original was left intact. Or maybe it was the other way around. In anycase, just "locate httpd.conf" if up2date installs a new httpd/apache rpm and review the files. If I manually edit httpd.conf I always back it up, cp /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.myconfig so I always have a working copy of my config file. What scared me was after the httpd.conf was replaced after up2date installed a newer version, .htaccess control was not enabled. In other words, all my .htaccess files were simply ignored. This may be the default, idonno. Anytime you update your httpd server, remember to review the config file. This is probably a bug. I thought rpm -U which is used by up2date was not suppose to replace config files, but simply install the config as something like the above, httpd.conf.rpmnew. jay -- -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
