I have the full source distribution for Apache 1.3b2 (only one beta release behind the current one of 1.3b3). There's not a single man page in the distribution. Furthermore, the prebuilt Apache FreeBSD packages don't install any docs (HTML or otherwise)--at least, not the ones on my 2.2.5-RELEASE CD-ROM. Likewise, the package list (PLIST) files for the ports on that CD-ROM don't list any docs, and the Makefile doesn't install them. I recommend that you extract one of the ports (say, `apache-current' or `apache'), then `cd' to directory `work/apache*/htdocs/manual'. In that directory, you'll find the complete HTML documentation for Apache--essentially the same docs that you find on the Apache home page, `http://www.apache.org'. ----- Brian Clapper, bmc@WillsCreek.COM, http://WWW.WillsCreek.COM/ Be regular and orderly in your life so that you may be violent and original in your work. -- Gustave Flaubert
