I for one, always use ports (compile from source) as I find the process less clunky, and a tad more predictable that packages. > > 2nd. Apache install ...

Sorry I can't be more specific. > So then I deinstall everything Apache and try again. > This time I use the /stand/sysinstall method. > Apache fires up just fine now. > How configureable is this install of Apache? > What went wrong in the ports intall? > Odd..I've never had apache break on an install from ports... but it sounds like some of your modules did not get properly installed. The apache logfiles live in /var/log/, and provide a wealth of information as to what's happening with your server. As for configurability, with the packaged one, you can't set any options that need to be set at compile-time, but most if not all options that can be set from the config-file or at runtime can be set AFAIK. > I have soooooo many questions.

All in good time :) I've found the handbook, the freebsddiary, and google to be my best friends when tearing my hair out. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 7.0.3 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com>; iQA/AwUBPHh4whY2HTS0XwU2EQKmmACfS6mBKvELkd03OmGMX/YwETKk6yoAnA+C GMm5Tj7J7xNYUSP23Iks4Y5r =M+f6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
