Question

I’m installing Apache on Ubuntu following this install guide
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/install.html but get an error on the last step when I run the command line below;

$ PREFIX/bin/apachectl -k start

I’ve noticed that the referred file (above) does not exist on my server on that path.

When I run ls -l, I get this:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 agenadinik agenadinik 7067 2011-03-22 14:08 apr-1-config

Does anyone know why this inconsistency exist?

The make install command also had this error:

make[2]: *** [install] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/agenadinik/httpd-2.2.17/srclib/apr-util'
make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/agenadinik/httpd-2.2.17/srclib'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

Any idea what is happening incorrectly here and how to get it fixed?

I’m using Apache version 2.2.17 with the built folder name as httpd-2.2.17 in my home directory at /home/agenadinik/.

I think its a permissions issue. Try

sudo make install
