[SML] web server oddity continued

[Ray Gibson]

These are standard methods and commands for the debian/ubuntu flavors.
CentOS / Fedora / RHEL flavors use the "httpd" branding of apache,
which stores its configuration files in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ and does
not use the familiar a2* commands.

While unfortunate that this is their methodology, it is a valid and
acceptable standard one.  Simply placing your file with a .conf
extension in this folder enables it with a restart of apache
("apachectl graceful" would be the command you're looking for that
will not interrupt existing sessions).
