You can use absolute paths in your httpd.conf, apache handles that just fine. Or simply create the directories that you want and copy the files there to match the instructions.

Ok, having seen some other postings, I realise that apache as compiled on unix boxes puts modules in /usr/local/apache/libexec, e.g., /usr/local/apache/libexec/mod_jk.so. Presumably then, an apache installation is aware of the equivalent of APACHE_HOME. The location of the standard modules in the apache RPMs is /usr/lib/apache, e.g., /usr/lib/apache/mod_mime.so. Does this mean that the references to, e.g., libexec/mod_jk.so should be replaced with relative paths mod_jk.so, or with absolute paths? How then are the LoadModule commands in httpd.conf, which specify modules/mod_*.so, interpreted? > One of the references to libexec/mod_jk.so is in the section on "Using > ApacheConfig" inthe AJP config page.
