Okay, Joe. Good to hear from another Apache+FP user and that it will work.
Now, I've just got to keep trying on the test server to see what combo
needs to be installed.

I really wanted to avoid a whole clean install on the productions boxes
because of the vhosts that will be interrupted. Another thing that fouled
me up yesterday was a "checksum" error because I had an old, forgotten an
earlier copy of Apache+FP-1.27 sitting in the ../distfiles.

Going to have to remember to use "distclean" instead of just "clean" from
the ports.
