you've got to start the server daemon. for apache1.3.4 /usr/local/sbin/apachectl punch that in and it will give you some options. otherwise /usr/local/sbin/httpd for documentation. /usr/share/doc/handbook/ or www.freebsd.org look for documentation. it's all there.. good luck Peter Brezny cyber1.net > -----Original Message----- > From: Gary S.
