Besides changing the paths on your configuration file(s), you may also need to specify the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable if the dependencies reside on other paths. I have managed to build and install on a user directory (like /home/username/opt/myapp/apache2) and then copy to another machine under /opt/apache2 and run from there. I even build several dependencies like openssl, apr, apr-util, and other libraries under /home/username/opt/myapp, and deploy them also under /opt/myapp/openssl, /opt/myapp/apr, etc. This is possible by taking care of setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the appropiate directories. -Jorge -----Original Message----- From: Brian Mearns [mailto:mearns.b@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2009 8:33 AM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Re: Can I just compile once and copy the installed server to multi machines?

That would be my preferred option; I wouldn't trust copying binaries to another machine. Even if it appears to work now, who knows what may show up in the future as missing dependencies, etc. On the other hand, there are pre-packaged apache installations available for all major distros. For instance, on fedora, you can do `yum install httpd` (I think httpd is the name of the package, otherwise it's probably apache). The down side is you don't get to customize the compilation. -Brian -- Feel free to contact me using PGP Encryption: Key Id: 0x3AA70848 Available from: http://pgp.mit.edu/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
