My httpd.conf is empty
I recently installed apache2 on ubuntu but I have a problem, my httpd.conf is empty. Can someone give me a clean copy of httpd.conf for apache2 on ubuntu? Thanks!
Edit: I saw your answers but on wampserver httpd.conf is not empty and as you mentioned it is for user options. SO what should I do?
Edit2 : That's what I got on my apache2.conf, how I add modules, enable gzip and all of that?
[Deleted the contents, as they render the question unreadable and are useless, because that were the default Apache2 configuration under Ubuntu.]
The /etc/apache2/httpd.conf is empty in Ubuntu, because the Apache configuration resides in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf!
“httpd.conf is for user options.” No it isn't, it's there for historic reasons.
Using Apache server, all user options should go into a new *.conf-file inside /etc/apache2/conf.d/. This method should be "update-safe", as httpd.conf or apache2.conf may get overwritten on the next server update.
Inside /etc/apache2/apache2.conf, you will find the following line, which includes those files:
# Include generic snippets of statements
Include conf.d/
As of Apache 2.4+ the user configuration directory is /etc/apache2/conf-available/. Use a2enconf FILENAME_WITHOUT_SUFFIX to enable the new configuration file or manually create a symlink in /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/. Be aware that as of Apache 2.4 the configuration files must have the suffix .conf (e.g. conf-available/my-settings.conf);
It's empty by default. You'll find a bunch of settings in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.
In there it does this:
# Include all the user configurations:
Include httpd.conf
OK - what you're missing is that its designed to be more industrial and serve many sites, so the config you want is probably:
/etc/apache2/sites-available/default
which on my system is linked to from /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
if you want to have different sites with different options, copy the file and then change those...
It seems to me, that it is by design that this file is empty.

So, you should have a look for /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
