Thank you. I was begining to wonder if anyone else was going to say anything...This is like saying I replaced my hard disk with a new and now my data is gone...Ok I'm sorry people do make mistakes... Two suggestions from my own experience with working with Apache...kick the default conf and driectory tree to the curb. I always use my own web tree structure usually mounted on /web and Imake sure that I have copies of the httpd.conf & php.ini as well...if you ever do a 'make deinstall' you data will be safe because it's not in the /usr/local/www tree infact to be extra safe after you cut a current tape, umount /web...
