This is not so much a apache port question as it is a apache httpd.conf question. You do *not* need lynx to make your apache web server work. You *do* need lynx if you want to look at the status, using the apachectl status command, for your web server. In order to see your status, you must set this function up in the httpd.conf file, and, as stated earlier, have lynx installed. If your apache server is not starting up with reboot, then you have an apache issue that must be dealt with. Try doing some reading on running an apache server. It will make this clearer for you Cheers, J. Craig Woods UNIX/Linux Network/System Administration http://www.trismegistus.net/resume.htm Entropy requires no maintenance.
