Your report confused me a lot. A few statements:
1. When you want to install your stuff under /usr/local but
config files in /usr/local/etc/apache there is no need to specifiy
--sysconfdir because for --prefix=/usr/local it already defaults to
/usr/local/etc/apache.
2. Even when I try your configure command with with the --layout
option I see a correct path layout:
| :> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc/apache
--layout
| Configuring for Apache, Version 1.3.2-dev
|
| Installation paths:
| prefix: /usr/local
| exec_prefix: /usr/local
| bindir: /usr/local/bin
| sbindir: /usr/local/sbin
| libexecdir: /usr/local/libexec
| mandir: /usr/local/man
| sysconfdir: /usr/local/etc/apache
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| datadir: /usr/local/share/apache
| includedir: /usr/local/include/apache
| localstatedir: /usr/local/var/apache
| runtimedir: /usr/local/var/apache/run
| logfiledir: /usr/local/var/apache/log
| proxycachedir: /usr/local/var/apache/proxy
|
| Compilation paths:
| HTTPD_ROOT: /usr/local
| SUEXEC_BIN: /usr/local/sbin/suexec
| SHARED_CORE_DIR: /usr/local/libexec
| DEFAULT_PIDLOG: var/apache/run/httpd.pid
| DEFAULT_SCOREBOARD: var/apache/run/httpd.scoreboard
| DEFAULT_LOCKFILE: var/apache/run/httpd.lock
| DEFAULT_XFERLOG: var/apache/log/access_log
| DEFAULT_ERRORLOG: var/apache/log/error_log
| TYPES_CONFIG_FILE: etc/apache/mime.types
| SERVER_CONFIG_FILE: etc/apache/httpd.conf
| ACCESS_CONFIG_FILE: etc/apache/access.conf
| RESOURCE_CONFIG_FILE: etc/apache/srm.conf
And when I install the stuff this way it is installed correctly. So, either
there is something broken on your platform (what I do not expect because I use
FreeBSD 2.2.x, too) or you confused yourself with the paths.
Please try again and especially use the --layout option to check which final
paths are calculated. Give some feedback if it still is broken for you or if
it now works.
