When linux boots, it uses /etc/inittab to control the
process. For example, the line "l5:5:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 5" causes the
computer to run the scripts in /etc/rc.d/rc5.d, one of which should
be S85httpd, which should be a symbolic link to /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd.
When httpd is run in start mode (the "S" in S85httpd), it uses, I think,
files in /etc/httpd/conf to define configuration paramaters. For example,
in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf is the line, which you may want to change,
<Directory "/home/httpd/html">
These /etc/httpd files are just configuration files, not the data you
want to put on the web; so I don't see any reason for you to move them.
But "man httpd" does give options, among which should be one or more you
can use to change where the httpd daemon looks for configuration
parameters. IF you decide to set these options, I guess it would be done
in the line of /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd that says "daemon httpd".
