Whenever I setup a LAMP stack, here is my http.conf

The Perfect Apache Configuration

I've spent quite a bit of time compiling what I find to be optimial to me and my server. Feel free to fork this and make it your own.

Installation

Copy and paste the contents of http.conf into /apache2/httpd.conf

You can also copy and paste into .htaccess (however this is slower!)
