minor install issue (apache 1 sapi)

I'm not too sure this belongs here or on PHP-INST (there was a message by Dinesh Anchan back in July 17 on PHP-INST where the replier wasn't helpful to the poor guy). In any case... I'm running into a minor issue, easily patched, installing PHP 4.3.3+ on Apache 1.3. PROBLEM Creating a php RPM script linked against apache 1.3 fails during install with an error: apxs: Error: Config file /var/tmp/php-root/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf not found make: *** [install-sapi] Error 1 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.30157 SOLUTION In php/sapi/apache/config.m4 replace the line: APXS_SYSCONFDIR='$(INSTALL_ROOT)' APXS -q SYSCONFDIR with APXS_SYSCONFDIR=APXS -q SYSCONFDIR EXPLANATION: When php installs mod_php, it executes apxs with a reference to SYSCONFDIR (i.e. "apxs -S SYSCONFDIR='/etc/httpd/conf'). If the above solution isn't applied and your packager script does something like: make install INSTALL_ROOT=/some/temp/dir then as it stands, apxs will now look for a file that doesn't exist (/some/temp/dir/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf) and crap out.
