[users@httpd] Problems with installing a precompiled tarball to separate directories

Hi

I need to be able to install Apache 1.3.34 to different directories on 
different servers (same OS and HW though) without having to build a 
separate version using different --PREFIX each time. I have tried to 
build with --PREFIX="" , then creating a tarball that is moved over to 
the target server and finally running make install -root=<target 
directory>. This mechanism is documented in the INSTALL file for 1.3.34 
but still doesn't seem to work. All files are copied to correct <target 
directory> but apachectl and httpd.conf doesn't contain correct paths. 
Any info would be most welcome.

Consider chrooting it.

Then, you can put it wherever you want, on as many servers as you want.

here is an article:

Hi everyone

I've received several suggestions to how one could do Apache 
installations to different directories but no explanation to why the 
method as described in the INSTALL file doesn't work. Any new takers out 
there ?
