I don't know the plusses and minuses of each option you describe, but I don't see a problem with either 2.2.x or 3.0 FreeBSD running the BSDI port. The current configuration on one of my servers (2.2-STABLE) includes: Apache 1.3.1 SSL FPE (the 1.3.0 patch applies cleanly) PHP 3.0.3 (need to up this to 3.0.5) MySQL 3.21.33 It works a charm with 50+ virtual hosts (only a few are FP), never giving me a problem. Also, I did have mod_perl in there, but decided that I could do without the bloat. <Extra Info> If you go for the above config, build/apply each item in the order I listed. It will work without much fuss at all (though you might want to edit src/Configuration[.tmpl]). Once built, you will need to play around with the configuration a bit to get it working (run fp_install.sh on the stock configuration before going on to modify it for SSL). What I had best luck with, was binding apache to localhost, then using a <VirtualHost> directive for everything else, including the root web. </Extra Info> Good luck with whatever option you go with, -- Troy Settle <st@i-Plus.net> Network Administrator, iPlus Internet Services http://www.i-Plus.net On Fri, 20 Nov 1998, Deepwell Internet wrote: > I know there was a big thread a while back on Frontpage Extensions and > FreeBSD.
