I am working on a way to add individual modules to apache installation. It is currently available from: http://www.westbend.net/~hetzels/mod_apache13.tgz This file contains: apache13-base - Allows you to select individual Apache modules to build apache13 - Main Apache Server (required by all modules) mod_ssl mod_frontpage mod_php3 mod_php4 mod_jserv To use this collection go into the apache13-base port and run make. You will be given a choice of modules to build in addition to building the main Apache server. NOTE: make certificate in the mod_ssl port currently is not functional. Let me know how these work for you. Thanks, Scot W. Hetzel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
