I’m attempting to install Rforum and I’m having problems locating and  
modifying the httpd conf file.

I’m using a shared host.

Below is from:  
[http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/FastCGI](http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/FastCGI)

add the following to your apache httpd. conf

LoadModule fastcgi\_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod\_fastcgi.so  
  
FastCgiIpcDir /tmp/fcgi\_ipc/  
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi

You may have mod\_fastcgi.so installed in a different place. If so, use  
the correct path.

‘find /etc -name httpd.conf’  
‘find / -name httpd.conf’ if it isn’t enough…
