I'm new to linux. I have a Red Hat Enterprise Linux box at work that
I'm trying to upgrade the Apache server on. Right now it's running
Apache 2.0.6, I think, and I want to upgrade to Apache 2.2.6. I have
the Apache files I need, problem is when I run the './configure'
command, I get the following error:

--------------------------------------------------------
Configuring Apache Portable Runtime Library...

Configuring for APR... reconfig
Configuring package in srclib/apr now
/bin/sh: /apache: No such file or directory
Configure failed for srclib/apr
--------------------------------------------------------
When I downloaded the files from Apache, I decompressed them to a
directory called 'Apache226'. I always go to this directory in Xterm
when I run the "./configure" command. I went to the srclib/apr
directory and successfully installed both the latest version of
autoconf and libtool. Another thing is my current verion of Apache is
installed in /etc/httpd. Can someone give me help as to why the './
configure' for Apache doesn't work? What does the "/bin/sh: /apache"
part mean? I created a directory called 'apache' where I though it
was looking for one, but that didn't help.

Also, can someone tell me what the "--prefix" tag does?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Why are you trying to download and compile the source? If the server
currently has the default httpd rpm package from redhat and this
system is registered on the redhat network then simply upgrade the
package from the command line as root...

yum update httpd

this may also want to install additional modules etc to satisfy
dependencies- Hide quoted text -

Oh, what I said above applies to RHEL 5. If this is RHEL 4 or lower,
then use this...

up2date httpd

Also, to verify if httpd was installed from rpm, type rpm -qi httpd

hope this helps
