Oops.  I'm trying to install version 2.0.46.  This is the configure line I've 
used, but I really want to install to the default Mandrake locations instead:

./configure --enable-mods-shared="access alias auth auth_dbm auth_digest 
autoindex cgi dir include info mime mime_magic speling ssl status userdir 
vhost_alias" --enable-so --prefix=/usr/local/apache2

I figure that this is part way there, but I'm still not sure about some of the 
locations:

./configure --enable-mods-shared="access alias auth auth_dbm auth_digest 
autoindex cgi dir include info mime mime_magic speling ssl status userdir 
vhost_alias" --enable-so --prefix=/usr/apache2 --with-program-name=httpd2 
--bindir=/usr/sbin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --libdir=/usr/lib 
--mandir=/usr/share/man

How I get httpd.conf into /etc I'm not sure (--sysconfdir=/etc maybe?) nor 
about getting the 'error', 'icons', &c. directories into /var/www.  Is it 
perhaps a case of setting --prefix=/var/www and then including flags to 
install the libs, bins, &c. into the correct places?  Just guessing.

I also don't know what to set --includedir to (defaults to PREFIX/include as 
opposed to --oldincludedir, which defaults to /usr/include.  I assume that 
there's a good reason for keeping them seperate which is why I then assume 
that it shouldn't also be set to /usr/include).

Doing rpm -qcp apache2-source-2.0.44-11mdk.i586.rpm returns nothing - I'll 
download and check the other source RPMs though...
