Updating Apache
 

Hello all

Running fedora 4, I am trying to install / update apache. I would like to make sure that apache gets installed in the same directory as it is now, keeping all settings in tact (eg. php).

The doc path is /var/www/html but where can I find out where apache is installed originally?

Could someone please let me know how the ./configure -- ?? should look like to make it work?

I have tried ./configure on its own which resulted apache being installed to /usr/local/apache2, with the result that php is not working.

After each restart the "default" http server gets started (service).

Thanks for your feedback

The benefit of using a distro like Fedora is that you can use RPMs you should check out Freshrpms for the some good documentation.

If you still want to build from source then do
this will give you the path to the apache binary. You are also going to need to look for the httpd.conf file probably
will tell you where that is that will be your config directory path when you build apache. There is a lot more to look into and you should google around and look on this fourum for directions on building apache from source.
