Configure options from a previous installation

Hi,

I was wondering how can one find what the exact options were used in the ./configure command to build an existing installation, specifically for the apache web server.

That is, is there a way to determine the exact ./configure command to recreate an existing apache installation? (in a different server, for example, or to change just one or two things but keep everything else identical?)

Thanks a lot.

check if you've got a "config.log" or "configure.log" in the source directory, that file should tell you which options was passed to the configure script.

I'm afraid there is no such file on my server, I don't even know if they installed apache from source.
Does anybody know of any other way to find out? Maybe the http server itself can tell me somehow?

Thanks a lot.
