I have a funny (funny only in retrospect) story about apache, modules, and frontpage. In an earlier version of FreeBSD/Apache - having more courage than knowlege - bravely installed the frontpage module and irreperably blew up Apache forever. A complete reinstall was (regrettably) necessary. It was a lot more painful then than now...or...umm...perhaps I know a tad more now, than back then :). Nonetheless, I've never gone near the frontpage module since! (sad, since I do so like FP personally) Regards, -Colin -- Colin J.
