You should install the Apache port by typing 'make' then 'make install' in /usr/ports/www/apache You should make sure that your ports CD-ROM is in your drive and mounted before you try and build the port. Once the port is installed, your web pages should be placed in /usr/local/www/data/ I use Apache myself, and if you have any other problems. You could contact me directly or use the list. --- Andrew Boothman FreeBSD UK User Group http://ukug.uk.FreeBSD.org/~andrew/ http://ukug.uk.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
