[PHP-DEV] minor install issue (apache 1 sapi)

[terry chay]

	I'm not too sure this belongs here or on PHP-INST (there was a message 
by Dinesh Anchan back in July 17 on PHP-INST where the replier wasn't 
helpful to the poor guy). In any case...

	I'm running into a minor issue, easily patched, installing PHP 4.3.3+ 
on Apache 1.3.

PROBLEM
	Creating a php RPM script linked against apache 1.3 fails during 
install with an error:
apxs: Error: Config file /var/tmp/php-root/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf 
not found
make: *** [install-sapi] Error 1
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.30157

SOLUTION
        In php/sapi/apache/config.m4 replace the line:
APXS_SYSCONFDIR='$(INSTALL_ROOT)' `APXS -q SYSCONFDIR`
        with
APXS_SYSCONFDIR=`APXS -q SYSCONFDIR`
EXPLANATION:
	When php installs mod_php, it executes apxs with a reference to 
SYSCONFDIR (i.e. "apxs -S SYSCONFDIR='/etc/httpd/conf'). If the above 
solution isn't applied and your packager script does something like:
	make install INSTALL_ROOT=/some/temp/dir
then as it stands, apxs will now look for a file that doesn't exist 
(/some/temp/dir/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf) and crap out.

	Take care,

                terry
