[Slashcode-development] Bender: clearing 1.0.9 install, and bender install locations

[Steve L. <st...@si...>]

(BTW: I'm mot sure I'm totally clear where these kinds of questions should
go: the dev list or the regular slash list.  Since this one is primarily a
coding question I figure it's here, but shout if I'm wrong and I'll scoot
over to the other one.)

I have made zero progress in diagnosing the Bender-Apache 1.3.14/17
startup segfaults I'm having, so I figure it's time for the 
screw-it-scorch-and-burn rebuild.

Part of this is rebuilding apache, part is rebuilding slash 1.1.3.  I do
still have my 1.0.9 install on my box, which I'm assuming I should remove
in case conflicts are part of the problem.  I'll tgz the /home/slash
directory and delete it.  Question #1: is there anything else I should do
to make sure the 1.0.9 install is completely gone before I reinstall
1.1.3?

Question #2: My inclination is to put the install in /home/slash rather
than the default of /usr/local, because I want my hosted sites on
/home.  I did run into problems during the 1.1.3 install about alternate
install prefixes not being fully propagated, which I tried to correct by
hand, but I'm not sure I got them all.  Can I accept the /usr/local
install for the modules and plugins and themes but still put the sites
themselves on /home without too much contortion?  How are the folks
currently using Bender doing it?

Cheers,

Steve
