Build and Install

The following instructions is what I've installed in the past on several machines you may want to leave out certain components or add in more. For example, I did not include Perl in the build this is something you might want to add. First step configure apache install directory

cd apache.x.x.x

./configure

--prefix=/usr/local/apachex.x.x

cd ..

Now you can configure the other components you want to build with Apache.
