Location of httpd.conf

[cragun]

Trying to install grav. Getting a file not found error for grav/admin.
Grav help says I need to set AllowOverride All in httpd.conf

A search on these forums says the servers are Litespeed, not Apache. But my cPanel says I have Apache 2.4.18.

Can someone confirm the server?
Where is httpd.conf, and am I allowed to edit it?

Thanks,

Brian

No, you aren't allowed to edit it. That would generally be the case with shared hosting - it's the config for the web server, not just for your account. You'd need a VPS or the equivalent (like an "instance" on AWS) at a minimum to have admin access that far up the chain. For what it's worth, a rather large proportion of "cool kids" open source web software assumes you're going to be running on a server (virtual or physical) you control rather than one you share; you'd need to ensure that software you intend to run here can run in a shared environment and relies on nothing more than "safe" PHP and MySQL/MariaDB.

Essellar,
Thanks for your quick and helpful reply. Thanks for providing background, and not being judgmental of a noob.

Can you confirm that the shared server I'm on is Apache? I'll pursue potential alternatives at the grav forums.

Thanks,

Brian

yes
all x10hosting's free-hosting servers currently are using Apache
