The last box I built was nearly 2 years ago, and has been in production ever since: Apache/1.3.14 (Unix) mod_perl/1.24 PHP/4.0.4 FrontPage/4.0.4.3 mod_ssl/2.7.1 OpenSSL/0.9.6 Needless to say, I'm desperate to get this thing upgraded. But over the last 2 months, I've patched, built, fiddled, scrubed, patched, built, fiddled, and fiddled some more. I'm blue in the face over this, and I've given up on the bastard configuration. I too have thought about setting up a Win2k box to host FP sites. Reliability isn't an issue, my Win2k boxes are as reliable as my FreeBSD boxes (both would stay up for years at a time if I wanted). No, my problem with Win2k web servers is security. I'm getting very close to scrap the whole hosting thing, and find someone else to provide such services for my customers. With as few sites as I have, it's not profitable anyways. -- Troy Settle Pulaski Networks 540.994.4254 - 866.477.5638 http://www.psknet.com > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Dave > [Hawk-Systems] > Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2002 9:19 AM > To: Troy Settle; 'Ralph Huntington' > Cc: 'Drew Tomlinson'; isp@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: RE: Fw: FrontPage 2002 Extensions Help > > > >I too have had nothing but trouble getting Apache/mod_ssl/frontpage > >working.
