Necessary commands (tips) to tune apache
To search in the current directory and all sub directories for a file named httpd.conf
find . -name “httpd.conf” -print
To find some string or text, type
find . -exec grep “MaxClients” ‘{}’ \; -print
This command will search in the current directory and all sub directories. All files that contain the string with the path.
If you want to just find each file then pass it on for processing use the -q grep option. This finds the first occurrance of the search string. It then signals success to find and find continues searching for more files.
find . -exec grep -q “www.athabasca” ‘{}’ \; -print
