This makes it impossible to set up another server with diffrent ServerRoot. The command-line swich -d is useless. I had to patch it binary to get it to work. And then I have a warning about the runtime status file. It is also defined absolute as /var/run/apache/apache.status, and if you setup a second server and forget to change this with ScoreBoardFile the servers will start to behave very strangely, it misses requests and some of the forks suddenly dies.

Yes, that actually worked... Well, anyhow the configuration directive ServerRoot is useless as it is now, and the same with the command-switch "-d", and I don't think it is supposed to be like that, so I still call it a bug.
