1. Why are you trying to compile apache from source? This is very uncommon for ubuntu...

2. You sure you don't wanna use apache2?

[charith]

Thanks for reply...I learn that way to install apache from my university. you are right Apache2 is more easy...but can I use apache2 on any linux distributions.....?

[tyho]

Yes, you can install apache2 on any linux distro.

Also, on an ubuntu machine, you can install apache2 with:

sudo apt-get install apache2

This installs apache2 + any dependencies.

anyway my first question ./configuration error occurred because I put my apache source on Desktop..
But when I put Apache source into Home/public Directory its configured properly. I don't know why is that.....anyone know please tell me.
