Well, I do have a couple suggestions though. 1) Can we install the binary as /usr/local/libexec/httpd? 2) Currently DocumentRoot is $PREFIX/www while ServerRoot is $PREFIX/www/server. This is a Bad Thing since it makes all the server configuration files freely available to anybody poking around with a WWW browser. I would recommend making ServerRoot $PREFIX/www and DocumentRoot $PREFIX/www/data (or htdocs, or documents, or whatever). 3) Which brings up another point. httpd.conf, access.conf and srm.conf all need to be altered in the event of $PREFIX being something other than /usr/local. Its easy enough to do when installing a port, but I'm not aware of the mechanism used for packages... Related, While mucking around with those file, its pretty easy to insert a correct hostname for ServerAdmin instead of "localhost". -john == jfieber@indiana.edu =========================================== == http://fieber-john.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ============
