[HLUG] has anyone had experience with xen??

The answer to your immediate problem there is probably to make sure  
you've got a backup of httpd.conf before you make any changes. If you  
then want to back them out or do anything different you can just  
restore that file. There should be no need to reinstall the package  
itself (this isn't Windows!).

When you've made changes to the configuration you can run 'httpd -t'  
to get Apache to check its configuration for you. Note that you may  
need to run this command as root or using sudo.

Hope that helps.
