What are some good places to look for default apache startup settings in Fedora 8?

Question

I'm running a small instance of Amazon Web Service's basic Fedora 8 LAMP stack. The default site is set up at /home/username/helloworld, but my web root of choice is at /home/username/example.com. Problem is, when the server reboots, it starts up using the httpd.conf in /home/username/helloworld. I have no idea where to even start looking around for this. Any suggestions?

Start by reading /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. It may include other files, but you can follow them and see.

If you modify this file, you can update apache:

Switch to root:
su -

Check config:
service httpd configtest

Graceful restart:
service httpd graceful

Don't forget to backup!
