In httpd.conf, the default ServerRoot is /usr/local. I changed it to /usr/local/etc/apache because that's where all the config files are. That caused me to have to change other things around, like the path to the modules. That's where it was giving me trouble. It turns out that after installing it from the port, the only thing I had to do was set my hostname and fire it up! However, now that it works, I'm still confused why ServerRoot is set for /usr/local. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
