[Server-devel] [XSCE] xsce httpd.conf

[George Hunt]

Tim -- regarding httpd-xs.conf

My memory is that the issue httpd-xs.conf was really trying to address was
to set the memory limits, based upon the mount of total memory available --
getting squid, ejabberd, httpd, to share the available memory in an
equitable fashion. This seems more like a conf.d type of issue. And I also
remember how the roll over from httpd 2.2 to 2.4 caused us upgrade pain
that was really self inflicted. I don't think it's a good strategy to take
over the base conf file.
