The courier.spec file defines the apache root in terms of %define apachedir %(if test -d /var/www ; then echo /var/www ; else echo /home/httpd ; fi)
What this means is that if apache isn't installed when you compile the rpms, then the courier.spec defaults to using the older (pre RH 7.0) /home/httpd apache directory. Perhaps it would be better to reverse that since there is little chance of anyone compiling courier on a RH 6.2 machine these days. Then the rpms wouldn't need to be recompiled if someone installed apache later in order to run webmail or webadmin. So the define statement would be: %define apachedir %(if test -d /home/httpd ; then echo /home/httpd ; else echo /var/www ; fi) (Someone just wrote me about this issue this morning. They compiled courier without apache installed, then installed apache, but then couldn't install webmail because rpm can't find "/home/httpd". I told them to recompile the rpms which in this case wasn't a problem since they just compiled them last night.) This change assumes that you can create the rpms, THEN install apache, then install the rpms for webmail and/or webadmin and they will work. If apache needs to be installed for the rpms to build properly in the first place then this is all moot - you will have to recompile anyway. (I tried compiling on a machine without apache installed and the rpms all compiled with no problem. But this doesn't mean that they will work. :-) Jeff Jansen ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!
