Raq3 I followed some bad advice from the users list and I fear I may have destroyed my Raq. Basically I what I did was: ./configure --enable-module=so --prefix=/etc/httpd/ make make install When I noticed all the additional directories it created I realized how much the cobalt web directory tree differed from the default apache install. Would anyone care to speculate how screwed I am? I haven't restarted the server yet so the box is still up but I strongly suspect it will not restart. I'm trying to determine the best way to restore a good apache configuration while the server is still up. It would be useful to know which files define the Cobalt apache setup so I could see if they've been overwritten. I would also be interested if somebody has done a full apache install from source on a Raq 3 and gotten it to work. If anyone has input that might be relevant I would appreciate the help.
