I downloaded redhat9 and successfully installed included Apache. For education reasons, i uninstalled Apache and reinstalled it with success. the instruction, i used to install Apaceh , installed Apache in /wwwroot.
Problem area: everytime i try to run apache it seem to access the old configuration files...
example:
/wwwroot/bin/apachectl start seem to start from /etc/httpd(looking for the httpd.conf file in here).
Som when i start apachectl start it should look for the configuration file in /wwwroot/conf and not in /etc/httpd....
anyhelp u can give me would be greatly appreciated...

I changed the init.d to point to /wwwroot but it still going back to /etc/httpd for somereason...
this is the init.d/httpd script: i currently have..
#!/bin/bash
#
# Startup script for the Apache Web Server
#
# chkconfig: - 85 15
# description: Apache is a World Wide Web server. It is used to serve \
# HTML files and CGI.

# Source function library.

if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/httpd ]; then
. /etc/sysconfig/httpd

# This will prevent initlog from swallowing up a pass-phrase prompt if
# mod_ssl needs a pass-phrase from the user.

anyhelp you can give me would be greatly appreciated...trying to understand this but not sure what is this i'm doing wrong...
