I think that was me that told you that, and I had the impression you were installing two different versions of Apache in the different places, not just the same version in two different places. The latter case is different, and the package database will get clobbered by that. I'd add a PORTREVISION to the port, setting it to 2. That will cause the second apache package to have a different name (with an _2 appended) and avoid the problem. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
