One Question here, are you running it from inetd or standalone. I am running it from /etc/inetd.con and working great. Did you edit its configuration files in /etc/apache or /etc/local/apache at least 2 or 3 files must be OK before it running ok. If you want I'll send you you my config files >I don't see anything that > looks like it in "ps aux" try ps -aux | grep httpd --> if running stand alone httpd try ps -aux | grep inetd ---> if running from inetd, then cat /etc/inetd | grep http to see the line invokin it. P.S.: it is worth noting that running TCPWRAPPERS is great security thing, allows you to get IP, hostnames of people getting to your WEB. >nor can I browse to it from my WinXX boxes.

Ha Ha, Wait, do you have something like; /usr/ports/distfiles or /ports/distfiles or /distfiles on this VERY EXPENSIVE CD :-) if so; go to /usr/ports then do the following (assuming you mount your CD drive as /mnt/cdrom) ln -s /mnt/cdrom/distfiles /usr/ports/distfiles This will prevent the ftp/http seeking CUZ the ports mechanism defaults to search in this /usr/ports/distfiles direcotry FIRSTR, if doesnot exist or file not found there, will try to go to a series of KNOWN URLs to fetch it using the GREAT utility 'fetch' the PORTS mechanism works as follows: 1. make fetch --> brings the file to your local machine (if not available), or just checks its there (e.g. on CDROM symlinked there) 2. make ---> will build the port (includes: check MD5 checksum, configuration, build dependencies and installs them as necessary, compile, and finally link the port) 3. make install --> obviously installs the port, and registers the installation in /var/db/pkg 4. make package --> gets the COMPILED files, and put them in TAR.GZ format, in /usr/ports/packages these can be themselves installed later with pkg_add command Further reading: 1.
