Issue with apache and devtool installation
 

Hi everyone.
I'm having some issues on Red Hat enterprise server 4 update 2.

My first issue is with Apache. (httpd)
I had originaly not installed it, because I wanted to install it in a specific mount, /u02

Now when I tried to install it using the rpm with --prefix, I was told that it was already installed. I checked and what do you know, the service is there and functionnal.

Using the gui installer, I was able to remove it, but still get the same error message when trying to install on /u02

I figured I'd use the source version and compile it where I want it, so I downloaded it. However, I don't have the development tools installed. No problems, trying to install the dev tools using the GUI installer. It always complains about not finding openldap, saying it is required by compat-openldap. I can't find and unselect compat-openldap. I'm kind of stumped.

I'm more or less new with redhat. My experience is more with "from scratch" distributions. I'm trying to stay inside the tools provided by the distribution, as I will eventualy have to hand this server over to someone else. Anyone as an idea?

Well, the one thing I hadn't tried was un-installing the package it was complaning it couldn't find. Turns out that's what needed to be done. rpm -e compat-openldap fixed the issue.
