Just go to the appropriate directory in /usr/ports -- go to /usr/ports/www/ and pick the apache your want, cd to that one and type 'make' and then 'make install' or even just 'make install' It will do everything for you. You DID install the ports structure didn't you!!! NOTE: that ports structure is just a set of directories with make files that know how to download, build and install the stuff. It doesn't contain the actual ports software, until you go in there and type make in one of them. Unless you are doing some stripped down thing that you already are clear on what you want or you are extremely short on disk space - no sysem is that short nowdays - you should always get the whole ports tree when you do you initial install. ////jerry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
