| Hello, I'm relatively new to this but I have a question about how this works. I'm running Apache 2 on Ubuntu 13. Normally I understand that the apache2.conf is under /etc/apache2/. However, I installed BackupPC on the server and I can access the service through http://server/backuppc. I then expected there to be a backuppc folder under /var/www/. That folder was empty except for the default index.html. 
 Digging further, I found an apache.conf file under /etc/backuppc that defined the alias for /backup. So my question is how does apache know about this apache.conf file located under /etc/backuppc?
 
 The server itself is fine so I'm just looking to understand how this all works.
 
 Thanks.

| Include /etc/backuppc/apache.conf 
 somewhere in the config.

| oh there was a conf file in /etc/apache2/conf.d 
 I guess that explains it.
 
 Thanks
