Answer 1

This is a classic way to locate httpd.conf file:

# find / -name 'httpd.conf' -print

Also you can file locate the file using

locate httpd.conf

Answer 2

httpd -V

It will shows all compile settings, in the middle of the results you will find:

• The Apache root directory: /usr/local/apache
• The Apache config file path from the root directory: conf/httpd.conf

Apache conf file: /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
