If you're using FreeBSD, you can do: cd /usr/ports/www/apache13; make all install (make sure you are logged in a root when you do this) Read here for more information on how this works: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html > Also, if this in not the best forum to learn Basic UNIX functions and > skills for newbie's, Could you please recommend the appropriate forum. Assuming that you're using FreeBSD, then you are in exactly the right place. If you're using some other type of UNIX, then you need to find the correct forum for that UNIX. If you're REAL new to FreeBSD, you may want to subscribe to freebsd-newbies for a while.
