For example, if you edit the filehttpd.config, you create a file named
httpd.config.editing. When you restart the server, the following file names change: • The storedhttpd.configfile becomeshttpd.config.backup.
• The edited filehttpd.config.editingbecomeshttpd.config. These name changes occur even if the restart does not succeed.
