I have a copy of Apache running. It was compiled from source using GCC If I make changes to the config. files I believe it is necessary to recompile Apache. I am trying to find the command line that will recompile apache without affecting any content in the doc. files etc. Can anybody please help? Have a great weekend all
If you are changing the contents of httpd.conf you don't need to recompile just restart Apache or reload the configs. If you are playing with values in the source code, then just build it the same way as you did before and once it's installed your content should be accessible. You might want to make a copy of the config files just in case.
