David, I too have setup a webserver here recently. I suggest that if this is going to be a public webserver, that you get at least Apache 1.3.19 for security reasons. This version corrected a buffer overflow in the previous versions. I do not know for sure if they have updated the ports yet. (http://httpd.apache.org/) I downloaded it and installed it very easily and it runs great. Also, make sure that if this is a web only server, that you turn off any open ports that are not being used. And this is easy in FreeBSD. Just my $.02 worth, from a security point of view...hope this helps. Good luck. Thank you, Ronnie Clark -----Original Message----- From: David R.

I have loaded 4.0 from CD and just completed upgrade to 4.3 by source. I would now like to install Apache Web server. Question is: can anyone recommend what version I might want?? I do want to install Frontpage 2000 server extensions. David R.
