Okay, first thing is to do a "make install". That will install all of the required files and libraries in the correct locations. Then, try to do a "/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start". You should get a message similar to "/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start: httpd started" If not, look in your /usr/local/etc/apache directory and make sure you have the apache.conf, httpd.conf and srm.conf files, not just the default ones. (for a quick and dirty startup, you could just cp the default files to the original .conf names, but I would not recommend this. It is better to cp the default files, then modify the conf files to match your needs and security concerns.) Then try the "apachectl start" command, and all should be happy. Hope this helps and makes sense (its been a while since I've installed apache on my server), Bryan -- +---------------------------+--------------------------+ | Bryan Albright | bryana@uswest.net | +---------------------------+--------------------------+ | Plumber's sign: "We repair what your husband Fixed." | +------------------------------------------------------+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
