| Hello Eva, 
 use the command "apachectl -T" which results in something like this (example from my ubuntu-16-linux-computer):
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | matthias@atom:~$ apachectl -V Server version: Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu)
 Server built:   2018-10-10T18:59:25
 Server's Module Magic Number: 20120211:68
 Server loaded:  APR 1.6.3, APR-UTIL 1.6.1
 Compiled using: APR 1.6.3, APR-UTIL 1.6.1
 Architecture:   32-bit
 Server MPM:     event
 threaded:     yes (fixed thread count)
 forked:     yes (variable process count)
 Server compiled with....
 -D APR_HAS_SENDFILE
 -D APR_HAS_MMAP
 -D APR_HAVE_IPV6 (IPv4-mapped addresses enabled)
 -D APR_USE_SYSVSEM_SERIALIZE
 -D APR_USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZE
 -D SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT
 -D APR_HAS_OTHER_CHILD
 -D AP_HAVE_RELIABLE_PIPED_LOGS
 -D DYNAMIC_MODULE_LIMIT=256
 -D HTTPD_ROOT="/etc/apache2"
 -D SUEXEC_BIN="/usr/lib/apache2/suexec"
 -D DEFAULT_PIDLOG="/var/run/apache2.pid"
 -D DEFAULT_SCOREBOARD="logs/apache_runtime_status"
 -D DEFAULT_ERRORLOG="logs/error_log"
 -D AP_TYPES_CONFIG_FILE="mime.types"
 -D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="apache2.conf"
 | 
 
 Concatenate HTTPD_ROOT and SERVER_CONFIG_FILE to get the location of apache's main config file. From this file other files could be included.
   
 Best regards
 Matthias

| I think apachectl -S is the better options since it checks the vhost config, too. |  |

| @James Blond: for checking correctness of complete config you are absolutely right.
 Eva was asking for the location of the config file. With "apachectl -S" I was only able to see the location of the included files, not the location of the main-config-file, which (at least on my computer) was displayed with "apachectl -V".
 I think the combination of both commands is best
   Greetings
 Matthias
