Dear users, I am building apache2-2.2.18 from source codes and now the build up result is: user@testbuild:/home/user/apache2-2.2.18 # ./httpd2 -V Server version: Apache/2.2.18 (Unix) Server built: Jun 2 2011 08:28:57 Server's Module Magic Number: 20051115:27 Server loaded: APR 1.2.2, APR-Util 1.2.2 Compiled using: APR 1.2.2, APR-Util 1.2.2 Architecture: 32-bit Server MPM: Prefork threaded: no forked: yes (variable process count) Server compiled with.... -D APACHE_MPM_DIR="server/mpm/prefork" -D APR_HAS_SENDFILE -D APR_HAS_MMAP -D APR_HAVE_IPV6 (IPv4-mapped addresses enabled) -D APR_USE_SYSVSEM_SERIALIZE -D APR_USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZE -D SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT -D APR_HAS_OTHER_CHILD -D AP_HAVE_RELIABLE_PIPED_LOGS -D DYNAMIC_MODULE_LIMIT=128 -D HTTPD_ROOT="/opt/apache" -D SUEXEC_BIN="/opt/apache/bin/suexec" -D DEFAULT_PIDLOG="/var/log/logs/httpd.pid" -D DEFAULT_SCOREBOARD="logs/apache_runtime_status" -D DEFAULT_LOCKFILE="/var/log/logs/accept.lock" -D DEFAULT_ERRORLOG="logs/error_log" -D AP_TYPES_CONFIG_FILE="conf/mime.types" -D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="conf/httpd2.conf" user@testbuild:/home/user/apache2-2.2.18 # cls -r Build is OK but my questions are: How I can change variables like DEFAULT_PIDLOG, DEFAULT_ERRORLOG during the building of apache2? I know that I can change that variables during the starting of httpd2 like /opt/apache/bin/httpd2 -D DEFAULT_PIDLOG .... vim but when I am checking whether httpd2 is running that output is: linux:~ # ps -ef | grep http root 30483 1 0 09:03 ? 00:00:00 /opt/apache/bin/httpd2 -f /etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_unity.conf -D DEFAULT_PIDLOG=/var/run/httpd2.pid apache 30490 30483 0 09:03 ? 00:00:00 /opt/apache/bin/httpd2 -f /etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_unity.conf -D DEFAULT_PIDLOG=/var/run/httpd2.pid apache 30491 30483 0 09:03 ? 00:00:00 /opt/apache/bin/httpd2 -f /etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_unity.conf -D DEFAULT_PIDLOG=/var/run/httpd2.pid apache 30492 30483 0 09:03 ? 00:00:00 /opt/apache/bin/httpd2 -f /etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_unity.conf -D DEFAULT_PIDLOG=/var/run/httpd2.pid apache 30493 30483 0 09:03 ? 00:00:00 /opt/apache/bin/httpd2 -f /etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_unity.conf -D DEFAULT_PIDLOG=/var/run/httpd2.pid apache 30494 30483 0 09:03 ? 00:00:00 /opt/apache/bin/httpd2 -f /etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_unity.conf -D DEFAULT_PIDLOG=/var/run/httpd2.pid root 30510 28310 0 09:03 pts/2 00:00:00 grep http linux:~ # Is it possible someone hide the -D options so that it will not be visible over ps -ef output?
