Well. It depends. If you are using the ports version of apache you don't have to do anything with ./configure. If you are upgrading it manually, you will use ./configure before any make commands. The manual upgrade is what I prefer over ports. I had nothing *but* problems (such as yours) when I used ports. -Jim At 09.35 14.03.00 -0800, R Joseph Wright wrote: >On Tue, 14 Mar 2000, Jim C wrote: > > > You apparently are having a configuration file problem.
