Hi, I am quite a newbie at Unix and am currently running FreeBSD 3.1, so I hope someone can help me over here. I have just downloaded 'Perl 5.002' from the FreeBSD website and it comes in this form 'perl5.tar'. May I know how I will be able to un-archive the file and install Perl onto my system ? I have also installed Apache 1.3.4 from the Cd-Rom, everything works fine, but I will like to enable user directories. For example, if I have a user directory, '/home/dan/public_html' and will like a request, 'http://www.domain.com/~dan' to be able to load the 'index.html' file from the user's 'public_html' directory. How will I be able to do that ? I have looked into the 'httpd.conf' file and have uncommented the chunk of lines that starts with something like '<Directory /home/*/public_html>' but it still does not work as my web browsers tells me that access is forbidden. Do I have to edit some more things ? Hope to receive some replies soon. Thanks.
