Hi,
    You understand the problem correctly. I wanted to
get the path for httpd.conf file when the System boots
up and my daemon will parse the httpd.conf file to get
the Server Address and the port number and some
additional information from where your Server runs. I
wanted to show this information to the user So that
they can directly change their configuration rather
than editing the file, I have reached till the steps
where i can look for /etc/rc.d/rc3.d for httpd and
apache files but seems for each vendor these files are
written differently and i can not found the exact
httpd.conf file. Please suggest what you say.

Thanks,
