I found that the httpd.conf that comes with the source from apache.org is very
descriptive with comments, for someone like me to follow. The suse config was
not 'immediately' clear at all. Same with Debian.
Of course, binary install was working fine before I messed it up :( But, how
else to learn..

In the httpd.conf file, there should be an entry for ServerRoot. This need=
s=20
to point to the directory where the executables are installed - in your cas=
e,=20
it looks like this should be changed to read /usr/local/httpd.
Also, in the conf file, there is an entry for DocumentRoot. This needs to=
=20
point to where the web files reside. (shouldn't be the same as the=20
ServerRoot).
If the ServerRoot is not correct, you can expect all sorts of errors to be=
=20
reported when you try to start the service. If DocumentRoot is not correct=
,=20
you will not be able to browse to your web pages. (Although you can use=20
virtual hosts and ignore/override the DocumentRoot setting).
This should be a start. If you still get errors, post the messages to the=
=20
list.
Just out of curiosity, why did you not use the install method of your distr=
o?=20
(apt-get, yum, emerge, etc....) If the only change you made to the=20
default .configure was to set the layout, then this probably would have bee=
n=20
done by the distro's package manager.
