It won't erase your config files. At least it never has in my experience, but that is on a per-port basis. Take a look at the packing list before you deinstall the port, and if the config files aren't in the packing list they won't be deleted. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Sverrir Valgeirsson [SMTP:sverre@hacke.esek.lth.se] > Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 1999 5:15 PM > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: ports and upgrading > > Hi. > How do I upgrade a port from the ports collection? > Say I would wan't to upgrade apache, would I then do a 'make deinstall' > and 'make install' ?
