However, posting non-standard configs on this list shows up in google searches all over the place and has a good potential to confuse those that need some help. That's my point. Obviously your point is you can put them anywhere and your company has decided that is a best practice. I would never argue against your decision to do that. Meanwhile, the original 'good suggestion' to use the /etc/httpd/conf.d directory for adding the patches has been totally watered down by this blathering (me included) which would best be under a totally different thread about how you can put stuff any where you want. Or, 'the merits of using a data directory'. You don't teach? If you post, you teach... like it or not. John Hinton
