how to create a httpd.conf file

Question

I would like to create a httpd.conf file to upload to my Apache server. I need to create this file in order to configure the SSLCertificateChainFile. Does anybody have any idea on how to do this?

I dont think you want to create it. You just need to find and configure it. You may try this:

It's possible to configure this there is no "default location" so I usually do:

$ ps -ef | grep apache

which gives me a list like

deploy@cmd01:/$ ps -ef | grep apache
root      4053     1  0 06:26 ?        00:00:04 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www       5189  4053  0 11:00 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www       5199  4053  0 11:00 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
...

Then simply run

$ /usr/sbin/apache2 -V

and you will get the details you need, specifically this

Server compiled with....

-D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="/etc/apache2/apache2.conf"

The httpd.conf file is typically present, you should just be able to add your specific config settings in there.
