Apache 2.2.3 installation not as root

["Shweta Patel" <shwetap@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to install Apache 2 (httpd.2.2.3) with the following configuration on Linux:

 

./configure --prefix=/home/sp/proj/ --exec-prefix=/home/sp/proj/ --with-port=8080 --enable-so --disable-ssl

 

After building and installing when I try to test: /home/sp/proj/bin/apachectl start

 

I get error:

Syntax error on line 117 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:

SSLCertificateFile: file '/etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt' does not exist or is empty

 

I do not want the server to refer to the ssl.conf file or look for server.crt since I'm not installing or running as root.

 

Is there a way for me to solve the problem without switching to as root user?

 

Thanks!
