multiple apache daemons

hi,
i need to run different apache daemons under different usernames eg ( apache - the default and netmaster). i read in manual that there has to be two installations for this. i am using an rpm from rh7.1. please let me know if its necessary for two installtions and if so how to do this from rpms.
regards
netmaster

i'm not absolutely certain
but i think you can specify an alternative config file as a parameter

then you just need 2 different config files

Why different daemons? Why not enabling suEXEC if you are worrying about people messing with other files.

I'm not sure the Apache RPM supports this, not all do, but try adding the suffix --prefix=/path/to/install/location at the end of the command line.

In general, however, I can't stress how BAD the Apache RPM is. From my experience, it completely destroys the standard directory structure of Apache. In addition, you can't specify the standard configuration options that you can while compiling manually with make.

If you can, download the tarball (.tar.gz or .tgz) and install that instead of the rpm. I know for a fact that works.
