Hi Jeff,

I am guessing the answer to my question is probably “no”, but I’m hoping
someone here has a silver bullet.
We are finally getting our act together and updating our Apache server
instances.
Our chosen way to do this is as follows:
The /apps directory holds application software distributions, suche as
/apps/apache_2.4.25
/apps/apache_2.4.37
/apps/apache_2.4.39
/apps/apache (this is a symbolic link to the current distribuiton)
We keep the DocumentRoot directory outside of the distribution tree because
when we want to update the server, we don’t want to have to copy the HTML
and cgi files.
Q: Is there some way to pass a parameter to configure to point to a
directory
outside of the distribution tree?
For example, if I want our htdocs to go into /etc/html by default?
I know, we can just go in and edit httpd.conf to do this, but it would
be handy
to have it point to the right place as part of the build. I have checked
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/programs/configure.html
and I don’t see anything that indicates that.
Ideas?
In the source distribution there's a file config.layout. Each layout
defined in the file has a name and consists of a list of paths to use.
You can add you own layout to that file, e.f. a layout named JEFF and
then add the configure flag "--enable-layout=JEFF" when running configure.
See:
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/programs/configure.html
I'm not sure whether that suffices to put the manual into a custom
directory but you should get close.
Regards,
Rainer
