APACI has some surprising features. One of them is that if you compile (install?) apache as an non-root user, it assumes that you will also be running it as a non-root user and therefore sets the port to something a non-root user can access. Solution: compile/install as root or just change the port afterwards. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
