Yes, in fact this is what I’m doing as a work around, but
because of the deployment tools and level of automation we’re trying to put in
place I need to figure out how to compile apache to simply look relative to the
binary’s location for its configuration files.
Thanks -

Have you trying writing a small
wrapper scrip that passes the conf directory using the -d flag?
Kind regards

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
