From: "Gilles L. Chong Hok Yuen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Marc Slemko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: config/3175: Apache always points to ServerRoot/share/htdocs/ Date: Mon, 12 Oct 1998 16:30:38 +0800 Ok, i found out that somehow the httpd always looks in the /../apache_1.3.2/etc for the config files! If i put the *.conf in there, then the server starts up with the proper document root (specified in the /../apache_1.3.2/etc/srm.conf). Why httpd looks in ../apache_1.3.2/etc when i specify the ServerRoot in httpd.conf as /../apache_1.3.2/ is a mystery?! Also in my startserver command (see below), i indicate the httpd to point to another specific directory! I would like to know which httpd to use for Apache 1.3.2 (in the /sbin or /src subdirectory)? My startserver command line goes like: /../apache_1.3.2/src/httpd -f /../apache_1.3.2/conf/httpd.conf If i do not put my *.conf files in /../apache_1.3.2/etc and starts the /src/httpd, then the server does NOT start: "httpd: could not open document config file /opt/apache_1.3.2/etc/httpd.conf" And yes, for every change in the *.conf files, i stop n start the server.
