Funny you should ask. I just found out how to do this last night. You can run Apache from the command line with a switch (I think it might be -V ), and it will tell you it's .configure options. If the -V doesn't work on your distro, use -h to see a list of the options - apparently Apache changes the command line switches on a regular basis.
So, on my Gentoo system, running the command "apache2 -V" returns this (I've modified the Magic Number just in case it's used for security somewhere): Server version: Apache/2.0.49 Server built: Apr 3 2004 01:32:37 Server's Module Magic Number: 11111111:1 Architecture: 32-bit Server compiled with.... -D APACHE_MPM_DIR="server/mpm/prefork" -D APR_HAS_SENDFILE -D APR_HAS_MMAP -D APR_HAVE_IPV6 (IPv4-mapped addresses enabled) -D APR_USE_SYSVSEM_SERIALIZE -D APR_USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZE -D SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT -D APR_HAS_OTHER_CHILD -D AP_HAVE_RELIABLE_PIPED_LOGS -D HTTPD_ROOT="/usr" -D SUEXEC_BIN="/usr/sbin/suexec2" -D DEFAULT_PIDLOG="/var/run/httpd.pid" -D DEFAULT_SCOREBOARD="logs/apache_runtime_status" -D DEFAULT_LOCKFILE="/var/run/accept.lock" -D DEFAULT_ERRORLOG="logs/error_log" -D AP_TYPES_CONFIG_FILE="/etc/apache2/conf/mime.types" -D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="/etc/apache2/conf/apache2.conf" Keep in mind that the executable might be different on your distro (i.e. apache or httpd maybe) Hope that helps Shawn -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jacob C Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2004 1:50 PM To: CLUG General Subject: [clug-talk] OT: Finding Apache Configure Options -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi All, I have a box with Apache installed and need to recompile Apache w/ PHP5.
