Putting absolute paths in the config file is a Bad Idea. Using relatives, the entire Apache install location can be self-contained and easily moved by changing one line. The real problems, as you say, are apachectl and apxs, but they are not worth, IMO, such drastic changes. I'd be much more up for some sort of "data" file installed in conf that these guys can read and use to determine such things as pathnames. As far as holding up a release: Not worth it. :) -- =========================================================================== Jim Jagielski [|] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [|] http://www.jaguNET.com/ "A society that will trade a little liberty for a little order will lose both and deserve neither" - T.Jefferson
