As a general rule if there is a port of an application, start with the port if you have to make changes, as the port should represent the sum of knowledge and best practices for best running that app under FreeBSD. Meaning it will fix things you didn't know were broken. Apache starts at boot with /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh I suggest you remove your installed port with "pkg_delete /var/db/pkg/apache*" Then "cd /usr/ports/www/apache13" (or one of the others if they are a better match). Then "make patch" to apply the sum of FreeBSD knowledge. Make your customizations in the ./work/ directory. Return to the apache port directory and continue the process with "make install". Make your configuration changes in /usr/local/etc/apache/ Fire it up with "/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start" -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
