The story continue :
1) Pidfile is located in http.conf into @rel_logfiledir@
instead of @rel_runtimedir@ (following fhs)
so we got PidFile /var/log/httpd2/httpd2.pid
instead of PidFile /var/run/httpd2.pid
as recommanded by FHS (and used by RH/MDK distros)
2) Redhat Linux (and maybe others), require
User and Group set (ie)
User apache2
Group apache2
Could we add in configure a --with-user and --with-group
flag to set them ?
In httpd-std.conf.in it could became
User @rel_user@
Group @rel_group@
Final point, I've got ServerRoot in /etc/httpd2
and DocumentRoot in /var/www2/html via layout.config
So I finish with DocumentRoot /etc/httpd2/var/www2/html
instead of just DocumentRoot /var/www2/html
Could we avoid having @ServerRoot@ appended to @rel_htdocsdir@ ?
Ditto for error when @rel_errordir@ is created from layout.config
and for @rel_manualdir@
