apache config default directory???

[teknik0s]

i'm using apache.. not sure what version.. probably 1.3 or whatever. I have it configured all nicely but i must have missed something. Because i had my documentroot set to /backup. But .. whenever i emerge anything that takes use of apache, it puts it in /home/httpd/htdocs. For example.. i was trying to emerge phpsysinfo and it put it there^.... then just today i emerged gallery and it put it there also. What do i need to change so that it installs web-based software like that to my documentroot /backup.

mhh, might be a hack, but

- move everything from /home/httpd/htdocs to /backup
- replace the /home/httpd/htdocs directory with a symbolic link to /backup.
- leave the default documentroot inside apache.conf

It's caused by hardcoded document root path in some ebuilds.
See Apache2 DocumentRoot ignored during subsequent ebuilds?
