What I usually do is build apache13-modssl normally, and build apache13-fp with an additional configure target of "--target=apache-fp". Once everything is installed, I configure apache-fp to run on some other port (say 8080) and then add a Rewrite rule to apache so that all requests coming in on port 80 from UserAgent "MSFrontPage" are redirected to port 8080. This works like a charm for the web people I have to support (since they don't have to specify port 8080 to author any of their webs), and conveniently "hides" the FP-extended server from public eyes, so there's less of a security hole! -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
