After installing the new version of Apache from the ports tree, I discovered that everything that was in /usr/local/www/data/ had been deleted and replaced with the standard apache files. I had no backup, but that was entirely my fault. >How-To-Repeat: See above. >Fix: How about not having pkg_delete remove the /usr/local/www/data directory, its contents, and sub-diretories? >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
