My suggestion is: 1 packetize it if you can (it depends of which is your env: I mean, 4 example if you use linux rpm compatible with the command rpmbuild -ta httpd-x.y.z.tar.gz you should build all the packages apache related. I don't know the deb package syntax. If you don't use linux it depends of you operating system) 2 Install and uninstall the package using the os utilities.
If you did it using the classical ./configure; make; make install, yuo should take a look in the file config.layout in the root of the archive. ... ## ## config.layout -- Pre-defined Installation Path Layouts ## ## Hints: ## - layouts can be loaded with configure's --enable-layout=ID option ## - when no --enable-layout option is given, the default layout is `Apache' ## - a trailing plus character (`+') on paths is replaced with a ## `/<target>' suffix where <target> is currently hardcoded to 'apache2'. ## (This may become a configurable parameter at some point.) ## # Classical Apache path layout. <Layout Apache> prefix: /usr/local/apache2 exec_prefix: ${prefix} bindir: ${exec_prefix}/bin sbindir: ${exec_prefix}/bin libdir: ${exec_prefix}/lib libexecdir: ${exec_prefix}/modules mandir: ${prefix}/man sysconfdir: ${prefix}/conf datadir: ${prefix} installbuilddir: ${datadir}/build errordir: ${datadir}/error iconsdir: ${datadir}/icons htdocsdir: ${datadir}/htdocs manualdir: ${datadir}/manual cgidir: ${datadir}/cgi-bin includedir: ${prefix}/include localstatedir: ${prefix} runtimedir: ${localstatedir}/logs logfiledir: ${localstatedir}/logs proxycachedir: ${localstatedir}/proxy </Layout> ... For example the manuals are into the dir /usr/local/apache2/manual and so on. Please pay attention to the file LAYOUT too; Remove the necessary files according to the config.layout finally, the make install should add the user apache (verify your /etc/passwd file) and the init script (usually in /etc/init.d); remove them if present I hope this will be enough for your issue Regards, Michele ps: excuse me 4 my bad english On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 1:56 PM, Brian Mearns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I think it will probably depend on your set up, actually.
