How to install ports. Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I am having trouble installing ports. I am trying to update apache to 1.3.22. I downloaded the tarball and did a pkg_add apacheblabla.tar. it made a new group called www and quit. Is this how one usually installs ports? How do you install a port in the ports directory or if its not in a tarball? I know this info is online somewhere but I cannot seem to find it right now.
