Apache searches for old DocumentRoot after editing the config file and restarting it

I'm using Arch Linux 3.0-ARCH. I've changed my DocumentRoot in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf from /srv/http to /var/www. Then I issued this command:

% sudo /etc/rc.d/httpd restart
:: Restarting A开发者_JAVA技巧pache Web Server                                           [BUSY] 
Warning: DocumentRoot [/srv/http] does not exist

Although if I copy files to /var/www, they can be seen on localhost. I've set the correct permissions—/var/www is owned by root, its group is www. Both I and the http user that Apache runs as are a member of that group. Permissions on the directory are 775.

Have you checked these settings?

/etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
/etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-userdir.conf
/etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

Issue this command:

user@arch~>> grep "srv/http" /etc/httpd -R | grep -v vhost | grep -v log

This command will tell you what is looking for /srv/http/ directory

if you have vhosts enabled, use this one instead:

user@arch~>> grep "srv/http" /etc/httpd -R | grep -v log
