Hmm, it seems pretty odd to have a zero-length configuration file. Are
you able to tell us the "full pathname" of the file you are looking at?
For example, I might have expected that you'd use
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf (or something like that).

Note that under under UNIX and Linux, as in URLs, you must use the
"forward slash" (/) not the backslash (\). Therefore, you must specify
/opt2 in configuration files (not \opt2).
