That much I have been able to do, apparaently. What I am having trouble with is actually setting up a site. You say "hack the config files". Can you elaborate a bit? In the older versions it allowed you to set up the Web Server through the install script just as it prompts for NFS, FTP, etc. This procedure placed an index.html (welcome page) in /usr/local/www/data directory, you know, the devil with the pitchfork thing "Welcome etc, powered by FreeBSD!). How can I enter that configuration screen. Port 80 is up and running so it seems I have a server. Will it suffice to just put an HTML file in /usr/local/www/data? Will it assume that it belongs to the default domain? So many things are different with 2.2.2. Why cant I seem to link the "ports"? There seems to be no links from the ports in /usr/ports/www to the CD ROM. All directories are unlinked. I know I am new to all this but it seems I am tempted to go back a version or two at this stage. I do like a lot of the improvements in 2.2.2 particularly the ability to use IDE devices readily. kgb
