Apache doesn't recommend this, IIRC. > Or put it in /etc/rc.local if memory serves... Put a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d #!/bin/sh [ -x /usr/local/sbin/httpd ] && /usr/local/sbin/httpd && echo -n ' httpd' I don't recall if Apache put that there or if I did. I've also used a script that calls "/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start" instead of calling httpd directly. Patrick --- Patrick S.
