RE: %config(noreplace)

Or do you do the below thru shell scripting?  Is there a website with
examples?  I have been doing searches for create and replace but haven't
found anything yet.

Thanks for that info so that spawns a new question.

How do I copy the file if it doesn't exist and not overlay it if it does
exists? 

Or does rpm automatically handle that for you when you are do a 

install -m 755 start_apache $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_sysconfdir}/start_apache

I thought it just overlaid the file.

This is all about when you *install* the package.

This is an error you get when you *build* the package, at what time your
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/rc.d/init.d/start_apache of course should exist.
