Subject:[courier-users] gmake intstall clobbers certificate directory...Actions...

as I understood the configuration instruction

* |--with-certdb=/pathname/|

Do not install the default set, but put /pathname/ as the default location of the root CA database, into the configuration file. This is a convenient option to have Courier use an external, previously installed, root CA database.

This should have configured courier to use my existing database of root certificates.

What seems to happen is that running "gmake install" clobbers the existing set and puts its own collection of certificates in that location. The first time I thought I had done something wrong (there was a long gap between the install and the next time I restarted the apache server). Just now I finished (reconfiguring and) re-installling courier, and immediately after "gmake install" I had to restart apache. The server certificate & key I had re-created after the last go-round are gone again.

Am I missing something here?
