apache configuration
 

I configured apache via ./configure in /home/export/apache path.
To uninstall it i delete the export dir from home.
I created a another location web/apache in /home.
And i configured apache in this location.
When i start the apache it shows
httpd: Could not open configuration file /home/export/apache/conf/httpd.conf: No such file or directory

give me the proper steps to start the apache.
It's really very very urgent.
Help me.

The configuration files are not in the same location on all Linux distributions. You forgot to mention which Linux distribution you are using?
A /home/export directory is an unusual location for Apache. Most major Linux distributions will install and configure Apache for you if you download from their respositories. If you want directories/files in your /home/user directory, the standard is a public_html directory which is available on install on many Linux distributions. Did you modify the httpd.conf file to show these locations?

I am using fedora.
Now My apache configuration location is /home/web/apache
Previously i build the apache in /home/export/apache
I deleted this export location and again build in web location using
#./configure --prefix=/home/web/apache --enable-modules=all --enable-proxy --enable-mods-shared=all --enable-ssl --enable-so --with-mpm=worker --enable-lib64 --libdir=/usr/lib64
#make
#make install
And goto the /home/web/apache/bin and run
#./apachectl -k start
It shows
httpd: Could not open configuration file /home/export/apache/conf/httpd.conf: No such file or directory
I verified the ServerRoot and DocumentRoot.it is also in /home/web/apache and htdocs.
Now i want to start the apache.
Give me the guide.

Why do you want to install apache using source code.
Are you not able to install using command line.

What is the version of fedora?
Is it not working for you

If you are not expert. I will suggest you to install apache through command line.

but if you insist using source code, have you read this before doing it.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/install.html

Unless you are installing a newer version for some specific functionality, this is the way to go.

I know how to install httpd using yum.
But in ./configure method we can specify the location wer i want to install the package.
Thats the only reason i choose this one.
