Don't move stuff around once you have things built, or you will break things,
just like with most other non-trivial software. The --prefix is where you
intend for it to live once all is done, so if you want it to live in
/opt/WebSite/Apache1, just put that in the prefix. If you want to temporarily
place the build in an alternate location before an install (ex. for packaging,
use something like this with the make build and install targets: %make
DESTDIR=%{buildroot}. Also, this is probably a typo, but you have a space in
your prefix path.

Subject: [users@httpd] Apache Builds on Linux
EXTERNAL EMAIL
Preface this with new to this subject but:
We have always used an apache instance that was a bundled solution, such at IBM
version, and now want to build our own. The build process is well documented,
that is not the issue, the deployment is the issue.
what I did was use a prefix like /opt/BaseBuild and that works as expected but
now when I copy that Apache to a new home, say /opt/WebSite/Apache1 and try to
start it, it keeps pointing to /opt/BaseBuild.
I tried editing all the config files to use the new home, but it looks like the
path the logs/files/libraries are all hard coded to the orignal path and
noticed that If you remove/ rename the orginal path, Apache will no longer
start.
Assume I am going about this wrong, and want to really build a deployable
version of Apache to be used many times with a minor change in the path on many
servers.
A google does not really show how to do this, so either I am doing it wrong, or
this is not common practice, but still something I need to do.
Here is a sample config command:
./configure --prefix=/ opt/BaseBuild --with-suexec-bin=bin/suexec
--enable-mods-shared=all --with-mpm=worker --enable-ssl --with-ssl
--enable-proxy --enable-cache --enable-disk-ache --with-ldap --enable-ldap
--enable-authnz-ldap --enable-cgid --enable-authn-anon --enable-file-cache
--enable-authn-alias --disable-imagemapc
Then you make, and Make install.
Thanks.
