How can I reliably find the location of httpd.conf?

I am looking for a solution, or if necessary a combination of things that will find the location of httpd.conf quickly and reliably on as many Operating Systems as possible.

Thanks!

    find / -name "httpd.conf" ? or apache2 -V that gives something like SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="/etc/apache2/apache2.conf"? Commented Nov 18, 2015 at 1:11
  • That's not bad, but could be very slow in a big filesystem. Perhaps there are very common places for httpd.conf that could limit where we look? Or perhaps httpd.conf location is always somewhere relative to some other apache thing? Commented Nov 18, 2015 at 1:16
  • I was hoping there was an apache2 command that just told you where it was. Commented Nov 18, 2015 at 1:18
  • I installed apache24 on FreeBSD via pkg, but both "apache2" and "apache24" are not commands. Now I'm trying to find that. Commented Nov 18, 2015 at 1:21
  • It looks like apachectl -V is working for me on both OSX and FreeBSD. Commented Nov 18, 2015 at 1:31

For me,

apachectl -V

works on both OSX and FreeBSD.

If anybody has a better answer or a continuation of this answer for other operating systems, feel free to share.
