at the very and there is a line include /etc/.../* that includes
anything from i-dont-remember-its-name directory found in the
/etc/apache2 So just create a new file, or edit the 'default' file
which is the default server's configuration.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_actions.html#action says you
