I copied the configuration files and updated paths as appropriate, in both cases the configuration is in /etc, and $TopDir was the same, but the installation path and location of the CGI scripts were different, only a few paths needed changed. > I believe it is (or used to be) possible to store the > configuration below $TopDir/conf (which would be copied along with "the pool" > without much thought), but package installations seem to prefer locations > below /etc (and I agree with them), which you would have to copy separately. > Well, missing that *would* explain what you are seeing ;-).
