Determining Configuration Options for Apache Server (Already Compiled)

[jfxberns]

I am trying to build my development & test servers to match my deployment server as closely as possible.

How can I find out, from an already compiled apache server, what options were used to with .configure when apache was compiled?

My deployment server uses cPanel and I do not compile Apache from scratch--so I want to know what options were used to compile it so I can replicate the deployment environment as closely as possible.

Does anybody have any idea?

Let me bump this up and run it by you folks again. Surely there is an answer to this question!

Hi Jfxberns,

and welcom to WW.

Perhaps this will help: running a small PHP script containing
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Kind regards,
R.

I think Romeo has likely offered your only solution. Most shared hosting providers offer a control panel so that they don't have to give you command line access. If you did have command line access,

config.nice

is what you would want to locate. See Upgrading [httpd.apache.org] Apache for more information.
