How to build httpd-2.2.3-22 as a relocatable rpm package in RHEL 5.3
 

Hi Linux Experts,

Greetings to all. I'm a new member to this forum.

I’m looking forward to get the steps on How to build httpd-2.2.3-22 as a relocatable rpm package? I'm working on customizing RHEL 5.3.

I need to install Apache httpd-2.2.3-22 with supported versions of mod_ssl 2.2.3, mod_python (version 3.3.1), mod_perl 2.0.4, and mod_jk.
The most important thing is that we need to install all these applications under a different path like /abc/xyz_apps/, not under the default installation path. App configuration files must be under /abc/xyz_apps_config/
I changed the default path for --prefix option in httpd.spec file as follows
../configure \
--prefix=/abc
Then, I rebuilt the package using rpmbuild –bb httpd.spec.
Httpd is still not relocatable, even though I made a few changes to httpd.spec file and rebuilt the same.
1. Changed the default path to --prefix=/abc \
2. Added if statement to check whether the directory exists before removing $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_sysconfdir}/httpd/logs
3. Rebuilt the package successfully using rpmbuild –bb httpd.spec
4. Tried to install using rpm -ivh --prefix /abc/xyz_apps/apache/2.2.3 httpd-2.2.3-22.x86_64.rpm. However it failed with error: "package httpd is not relocatable"

Any help on this is appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,

Renju.

Hi AlucardZero,

Thank for your reply. I had already tried those things. However, I'm still trying to figure out how this specific package can be made relocatable.

Thanks and Regards,

put one or more:

in your spec file? Not sure what the problem is?
