Depends on what you mean by "run like other system daemons". If you mean that it must be started automatically at system startup, well, then installing the Apache port will create a shell script /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh, which will do just that. If you mean actually configure it for you... Hmmmmm... FreeBSD is good, but not prescient. ;-) It still doesn't know _how_ you want your Web server configured. However, under most circumstances, tweaking just one or two lines in httpd.conf should get you a "default" Apache up and running. -- V Johann Visagie | wjv@CityIP.co.za | Tel: +27 21 419-7878 | ICQ: 20645559 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
