I'm looking for a clean way of separating an instance configuration, so I can keep my setup separate from the actual application. I'm looking for a guide or some guidance on the things I need to do to achieve that. For example, I know I can specify the base httpd.conf file with a -f switch. And it looks like I can specify the instance using the ServerRoot directive. Or, maybe it doesn't work that way, since that sets where the modules are loaded from. Any suggestions?

You could define the needed values in different file and include that

define_file.conf
Code:
Define SRVROOT "/Users/james/Apache24"


httpd.conf
Code:
Include path/to/define_file.conf
ServerRoot "${SRVROOT}"


I also include a file where I define the loading the modules.

Code:

Include conf/modules.conf


modules.conf
Code:



   #LoadModule access_compat_module modules/mod_access_compat.so
LoadModule actions_module modules/mod_actions.so
LoadModule alias_module modules/mod_alias.so
   #LoadModule allowmethods_module modules/mod_allowmethods.so
   #LoadModule asis_module modules/mod_asis.so
LoadModule auth_basic_module modules/mod_auth_basic.so
   #LoadModule auth_digest_module modules/mod_auth_digest.so
   #LoadModule authn_anon_module modules/mod_authn_anon.so
LoadModule authn_core_module modules/mod_authn_core.so
# .... etc etc
