You can always get Apache and add in the modules you deem necesscary by hand. Granted this isn't as easy as just building a port, but if you want a full-custom server it's the only route. You need to get the Apache source, I'd suggest 1.3.9, and unpack it. There is a nice configuration tool called apaci, to assist in the building of the server. Then get the source for the modules that you want to compile that aren't part of the standard Apache kit. e.g. mod_ssl, mod_php etc... http://modules.apache.org is one source or just go to the main web sites for the modules you need. (http://www.php.net, http://www.modssl.org) Those modules will have their own instructions for compilation and inclusion into the server so just follow what they say. After all your modules are compiled, you can then compile Apache and off you go. This probably sounds more difficult than it is, the documentation in the PHP distribution is excellent, although I personally haven't dealt with mod_ssl. There shouldn't be any problem with getting them to work together. Good luck! strben@altavista.com wrote: > > Hello all... > > As always...
