Apache installation and directories

The apache RPM installs files in the following directories

1. /etc/httpd/conf : Contains Apache config file (httpd.conf)
2. /etc/httpd/conf.d/*.conf : Contains config files for other software bundles that can be integrated with apache eg. mysql, phpMyAdmin
3. /var/www/html : Contains web content like php pages, html files, cgi scripts etc.
4. /var/www/manual : contains copy of apache config manual
   
5. /etc/rc.d/init.d : contains script for starting and stopping the server.
6. /usr/sbin : contains executable programs
7. /var/log/httpd : server log files are placed in this directory. Two important log files are there access_log, error_log

Note: When apache is being run, it also creates the file httpd.pid containing the process ID of Apache's parent process in /var/run directory.
