Re: Creating a relocatable build of apache (Apache Users)

Thanks for the reply. However, I am a bit confused.

So after, I copy everything from my build directory to my new machine, I should edit the bin/envvars and point them to the apache libs. However, inside the "apachectl" script, I see that HTTPD is being hardcoded to the "build" machines build directory, so when I copy that over to my production machine and try to run "apachectl -k start" it tells me it cannot find httpd :(

Thanks,
Jonathon

After moving the install, update the absolute path used in the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH/SHLIB_PATH/etc line in bin/envvars, and "make
install" into an extremely unlikely to exist path. (also, invoke
apachectl instead of httpd to make sure bin/envvars is used)
