All good that you customize your servers and that shows the beauty of
our chosen OS. 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.
