[rt-users] make install problem

[Tomas Doyle XA (DL/LMI)]

Hi again

the ./configure

should i use 

./configure --with-web-user=apache --with-web-group=apache --with-rt-user=apache --with-rt-group=apache              
--prefix=/usr/local/rt3 --with-db-rt-pass=password

the --prefix is this needed as by default i thought it would put it into /opt/rt3

another thing should i erase /opt as well will this be recreated

Thanks

I usually make an uploads folder under whichever user I happen to be 
using - usually something original, like drew.  I untar there, then su 
so I can configure and install as root.  As far as I can tell, you can 
just wipe the /opt/rt3 folder and untar it in /root and you should be 
fine.  Just redo your configure, then make install.
