don't tell me the path junk is even more screwed up...

   Hello,
on Sparc Solaris 2.5.1 I try to install and get Apache 1.3.4 running:

   ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/etc/apache_1.3.4
   make
   make install
 
   /usr/local/etc/apache_1.3.4/bin/apachectl start
   fopen: No such file or directory
   httpd: could not open document config file /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

Why is Apache looking in  

    /usr/local/apache/conf 

for its config file? Should it not look in:

   /usr/local/etc/apache_1.3.4/conf

since that is what I specified with the prefix command? The 'apachectl'
seems to have no way to specify the location of the 

   /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

file. Is there a solution outside of symbolic links?

   - Henrik

     Hello,
thanks for responding to my query.

I downloaded Apache 1.3.4 again and retried the installation from
scratch... this time it worked. I do not know what happened the first
time --- why the it failed (I reconfigured and recompiled twice).

This is not what I get when I do exactly the steps above on Solaris 7
# ./apachectl start
./apachectl start: httpd started
# pwd
/usr/local/etc/apache-1.3.4/bin
# uname -a
SunOS twoway 5.7 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250
#                                                     

The only thing I had to set in httpd.conf was ServerName.
