How can I edit the registry (or whatever it's called in > FreeBSD) manually to clear that entry? TIA. Delete it manually. /var/db/pkg/ should contain a entry for httpd. You have to be su to do this. When I add a package I always use the pkg_add -v option, to see whats going on, so I can fix any problems. Eric - echet@coil.com > > Serge splyaski@cmp.com >
