Good Afternoon - Apache Version: httpd-2.2.15 Linux Version: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga) / 2.6.18-164.el5xen I'm attempting to compile a version of apache_2 httpd binary that is agnostic of the directory it's run from and will look for its configuration files local to the binary's run location. (Example: ./httpd will look for httpd.conf local to my run location reguardless of prefix). At compile time, I'm required to provide a --prefix= directory or configure will assume that I want it installed by default in /usr/local/apache. I've tried to compile using --prefix=./ but this fails with " configure: error: expected an absolute directory name for --prefix: ." I know I can create an alternative directory structure and use the -d and -f flags with ./httpd to identify alternate prefix directory and httpd.conf locations at runtime but I want to avoid having to pass these variables. Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers- Sandy Sandy D.
