the [ --prefix= ] option is to let the configure stuff know what base
directory to install too. binaries would go into /www/bin libraries
/www/lib and so on. if you have done the make install as usr root
it should of made the dir /www. { a good place to put apache would
be --prefix=/usr/httpd and set up your ld.so.conf as root with
echo "/usr/httpd/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf
, but thats just me :) Don't forget to install php and edit the
httpd.conf }
and ya ... there is a whole lot of stuff you should think about before
installing apache ie. do you want threaded or process forking.
but in the end if you have a distro linux all you need to do is just
install the pre-built junk rpm's.
