[users@httpd] Apache 2.2.3 installation not as root
Hi,
I'm trying to install Apache 2 (httpd.2.2.3) with the following
configuration on Linux:
./configure --prefix=/home/sp/proj/ --exec-prefix=/home/sp/proj/
--with-port=8080 --enable-so --disable-ssl
After building and installing when I try to test:
/home/sp/proj/bin/apachectl start
I get error:
Syntax error on line 117 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:
SSLCertificateFile: file '/etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt' does not exist
or is empty
I do not want the server to refer to the ssl.conf file or look for
server.crt since I'm not installing or running as root.
Is there a way for me to solve the problem without switching to as root
user?
Thanks!

Y'know, I just saw something very similar happen with an httpd I
built from trunk. It was looking for httpd.conf in a location where I
had previously built, not the location I specified in --prefix in the
new build.
Try running make clean before you run make. That solved it for me.
Looks like we have an unreferenced dependency of a lot of stuff on
include/ap_config_auto.h ...

apachectl might be the culprit here.
A couple of things you can do:
Go thru the /home/sp/proj/conf/ directory. Understand all the
configuration files and make sure you have only what you want. Give
special attention to httpd.conf file and all the include directives in
it. All references to any config file should be within your home
directory. There can't be any references /etc/httpd.
Read apache manual to understand how apache interprets ServerRoot and
other directory and file related directives.
Now, try
/home/sp/proj/bin/httpd -X -f /home/sp/proj/conf/httpd.conf
This should start your local installation of apache. If there are any
errors, you should see it on console and in
/home/sp/proj/logs/error.log (or whatever path you gave for ErrorLog
in httpd.conf).
HTH,

There might be no reference to any ssl.conf in the httpd.conf, it may be
that the whole conf.d directory is included with something like
Include /path/to/conf.d/*.conf

Look into your httpd.conf file.
1. You can have Include ssl.conf or conf/extra/httpd_ssl.conf or some
other name (some Linux distros repackage config file)
2. Nothing prevent an admin from putting SSL config into httpd.conf directly
in any case READ YOUR HTTPD.CONF file.
apachectl is just a simple script that call httpd with different
command line parameters, there is no code in apachectl that reads any
config files.

>>> That because in 2.2.3 it's extra/httpd_ssl.conf
1. In that case why is the server even looking into the file
/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf ?
2. When or where in the Server code does it look for ssl.conf ? Basically
I'm looking for the initial steps that occur once we call apachectl start
Thanks again.

I do not have the permissions to do so and hence was looking for
alternatives.
I greped the source for httpd.2.2.3 but could not find an explicit reference
to the path "/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf" and was wondering how the server
picks up this path since I'm not starting it with ssl support and have my
prefix directories given?
Thanks again.

Sure, edit the httpd.conf file and remove the "include ssl.conf" bit, or
rename ssl.conf in ssl.conf.old
