Where are the configuration files for Apache saved?

It may happen that sometimes we forget how we previously configured our Apache server and where we created additional configuration such as that related to virtual hosts.

To see the configuration files loaded in Apache we can use the following command.

apachectl -t -D DUMP_INCLUDES

We will get an output like the following:

Included configuration files:
  (*) /usr/local/etc/httpd/httpd.conf
    (512) /usr/local/etc/httpd/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
    (529) /usr/local/etc/httpd/extra/httpd-ssl.conf

Depending on how the configuration is structured, this output can be quite long in some cases.

Included configuration files:
  (*) /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
    (146) /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/access_compat.load
    (146) /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/alias.load
    (146) /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/auth_basic.load
  ...
