If you look at the Makefile in /usr/ports/www/apache2, you would notice a variable called WITH_MODULES. You would need to see what modules you want and run make like: make WITH_MODULES="include rewrite auth" install clean or whatever you want. There are examples given in the makefile. You could change the makefile, but it will be overwriten next time you upgrade the ports collection. hth Gautam
