Windows 2000
Apache 1.3.9

Hi,

Weird question here. As part of a test staging environment for a production
system, our product (including servlets/JSP) is automatically built several
times per day. This includes integrating changes to .conf files for both
Apache and JServ. The results are then 'deployed' to a staging environment.

In order to make sure that the staging environment is 'clean' and free from
artifacts from previous builds, we basically clear out the staging directory
and copy a baseline Apache installation (yes, as in copy /s c:\apache
c:\staging\), on which we then overlay our conf files. My question is this:
are we materially affecting how Apache works by bypassing the standard
installation procedure? For example, are things written to the registry
during standard installation that are important to the operation of the web
server, JServ, etc.? I know there are administrative items in the registry
for uninstall, etc., but those don't concern me.

Thanks for any information.

David
