make install error & set different Port in httpd.conf

Hi guys,

I just donloaded the httpd-2.2.0.tar.gz and am trying to build a RPM on (firewalled version of Redhat 7.3)- Linux for i386-arch. (RPM-version 4.0.4)

maybe anyone can help me with this poblem:

I'm setting _prefix to /usr/local/apache2 in my http-SPEC-file, and when rpmbuild comes to "make install" stage it executes the following call, BUT the install procedure tries to "mkdir /usr/local/apache2/share/build" instead of the prefixed "/var/tmp/httpd-root/usr/local/apache2/share/build" and dies because of lacking rights to do so...

Any ideas how to overcome this?

heres the log:

and something different:

I want to make an RPM-package that e.g. starts http at port 81 instead of 80. What I tried to do is patch the following file: --- build/mkconfNW.awk.orig Wed Jan 18 12:22:29 2006 +++ build/mkconfNW.awk Wed Jan 18 12:22:34 2006 @@ -16,14 +16,14 @@
 BEGIN {

     A["ServerRoot"] = "SYS:/APACHE2"

     A["errordir"] = "error"
     A["proxycachedir"] = "proxy"


But after I install the RPM the httpd.conf still has 80 in there... 

Where the heck is this taken from? I just can't figure it out ? (same applies to "logs" which I want to replace with "log")..

Any hint would be appreciated..

I can do some shell scripts and makefiles basics but "apache-make construct" is too hard to understand for me ..

best regards
