+Aside from the default <code>httpd.conf</code> configurations and other uncommented changes, this is everything that I have manually added to the configuration file for Apache. If you make any changes, remember to restart the Apache service either by running <code>httpd -k restart</code> or restarting the service in <code>services.msc</code>. Until we get HTTPS, this configuration should remain the same.<pre>
