Have you tried copying the httpd.conf file over?

Do you mean that you would like to see the Compile Options of the old Apache instance?

This post reminded me just to backup mine lol

well if you at some point edited (in a GUI editor) your previous httpd.conf file there probably is a httpd.conf~

Code:

ls -la /etc/httpd/

if it's there

Code:

nano /etc/httpd/httpd.conf~

or

Code:

vi /etc/httpd/httpd.conf~

then save without the ~

I think it could work, not sure though.

Or did you mean the configuration file from the source code to re-compile?

i mean "the configuration file from the source code to re-compile?" ie the previous ./configure --options

I think if you run

Code:

phpinfo();

on the server then it lists all the compile options

ya you are write???? its available through phpinfo();......But actually that server is down.....i copied the Apache folder.....Is there any option available to get the previous configuration from that file????
