Well,
That almost worked.
I edited the config.layout file and copied <Layout Apache> to <Layout DETR>.
In <Layout DETR> I made the following changes only:
<Layout DETR>
prefix: /usr/local/apache2
exec_prefix: ${prefix}
bindir: ${exec_prefix}/bin
sbindir: ${exec_prefix}/bin
libdir: ${exec_prefix}/lib
libexecdir: ${exec_prefix}/modules
mandir: ${prefix}/man
sysconfdir: ${prefix}/conf
datadir: ${prefix}
installbuilddir: ${datadir}/build
errordir: ${datadir}/error
iconsdir: ${datadir}/icons
htdocsdir: /var/www/html <- Changed
manualdir: ${datadir}/manual
cgidir: /var/www/cgi-bin <- Changed
includedir: ${prefix}/include
localstatedir: ${prefix}
runtimedir: ${localstatedir}/logs
logfiledir: ${localstatedir}/logs
proxycachedir: ${localstatedir}/proxy
</Layout>
I then ran config like this from a shell script:
#!/bin/bash
./configure --with-pcre=/usr/local/bin/pcre-config \
--enable-layout=DETR \
--prefix=/apps/apache_2.4.39 \
--enable-proxy-html \
--enable-socache-shmcb \
--enable-ssl
What happened is that the /var/www/html and /var/www/cgi-bin directories
got created, but in the httpd.conf file had this for the DocumentRoot and
script locations:
DocumentRoot "/apps/apache_2.4.39/htdocs"
<Directory "/apps/apache_2.4.39/htdocs">
...
and
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/apps/apache_2.4.39/cgi-bin/"
It looks like there is someplace where directives in config.layout are being
ignored. Ideas?
n.b. After I reanthe config command, I ran a 'make clean' prior to the 'make'
to build a
new server.

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
