Hee hee. A web server is not a newbie kind of thing. Or at least not an OS newbie kind of thing. The problem isn't FreeBSD or its perceived lack of documentation. Apache is not FreeBSD. I've never deliberately used Apache, but I managed to install it by mistake under Linux several times (damn you Redhat!). Getting it installed and running is not the problem. Getting it properly configured for your situation is another matter. I would check out the O'Reilly book, as mentioned, find an Apache for Dummies book (great when you're so clueless you don't know where to start), or the Apache webpage. > I feel stupid. I'll trade your 'stupid' for my 'stupid'. My 'stupid' is extremely embarrasing and I would gladly trade it in for a newer model.
