Even if there were an existing Web server, it would be ill-advised to add configuration information to an existing Web site configuration in case it caused disruption to the normal functioning of the current Web server. Having a separate Web server and configuration file provides the convenience of a Web interface and the ease of management of a separate configuration file. |

I would then restart the httpd daemon using the command: # apachectl restart |
