This may be completely off the wall, but can't you just pretend to
configure the apache on your machine and then just transfer the
resulting httpd.conf file over to the other machine?
That would be my first and safest thought. Note that only a single
depth backup is made so make your own.
Since the tool is python it is not insane to copy or modify the
python.
A minor bit of grep and find and I see:
## File generated automatically by genClass.py
## Do not edit this file directly.
....
./ApacheBase.py: rmd5 = hexstr (md5 (open ('/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf',
'r').read ()).digest())
./ApacheBase.py: os.remove ('/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.bak')
./ApacheBase.py: os.rename ('/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf',
'/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.bak')
./ApacheBase.py: open ('/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf', 'w').write
(result)
There is no magic $HTTPDCONF but it looks very possible in an open source world to
change...
Just do a bit of digging... and do not ignore the pile of handy documents.
