👉 The word "aggregator" can be confusing, doesn't it? Imagine if we had to learn how to make our own pasta sauce. It's not like that!
But let's get back to the topic at hand: httpd.conf.
httpd.conf is a file in your web server's configuration files, just like a recipe book. It tells the webserver where to find and access resources on its servers. Imagine you have a jar of beans and you need to make a meal out of them.
Now, how would we approach that? We wouldn't put all our beans together by ourselves! So, we'd go into the "jar" folder and add some jars - like httpd.conf - and then follow those jars with a bunch of steps, like creating new files for each jar.
But wait, what if you have a jar of beans that's not really necessary? Or maybe it doesn't even contain any beans at all?
Well, in the world of web server configuration, we wouldn't just "put" the beans, but "create" them! Imagine having to make a decision about whether or not to include something - like the httpd.conf file - in our "jar". That's like deciding whether to include an extra set of chocolate chips in a cookie. It's up to you to decide what kind of cookies you're making!
And that's why we need a "jar" to hold the files, and a "create" tool to
