AMEN! It takes a lot of research elswhere, plus experimenting, trial &
errors (pleading for help wherever) to find out what to do... AND, it keeps
changing with new versions of Apache. AND2... every mail list one visits
finds that FP questions are not too welcome because of OT, although some
are nice enough to help anyway. There is an "Apache-FP" list, but its 100%
Linux OS procedures... M$ is not a helpful place either. clearly we need a
FBSD place for this....
