Check the archives for edit httpd.conf for posts like

Personally, I use NoteTab http://www.notetab.com/ and upload the changed
httpd.conf file to a directory via FTP (as ASCII only). Then as root, I cd
/etc/httpd/conf and do
cp httpd.conf httpd.conf.backup
Then I copy the new uploaded version of httpd.conf over the old one using
the same method with the new file's path, e.g.: cp
/home/sites/site3/web/httpd.conf httpd.conf
 and restart my RaQ2, (the restart code may be different for other raqs)
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd.init restart

The other way, if you don't want your changes to be overwritten by any
changes to the GUI on a site is to follow the instructions from
http://list.cobalt.com/pipermail/cobalt-users/2000-October/024470.html

Sounds like a file for an NT or IIS server. It ain't gonna run on Unix.
