Hi Frank, Tnx a lot for your answers! >Have a look at: >http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports- using.html >in particular: >4.5.2.1 Overriding the Default Ports Directories > >You basically copy the port wholesale to somewhere in your directory >tree and build your "new" patched port with WRKDIRPREFIX set.....I >think. Hmmm, I read it, and though it looks somewhat promising, I wonder if that'll work... The issue is that when first patching the C file, and then just trying a "make" it does nothing. When doing a "make clean", it will get all sources freshly again (hence undoing the patches made to the C file). From what I gather from the section you refer to, it will simply use a different working directory and/or install directory. However, wouldn't that try to simply install a newly build entire Apache 2.2.4 version next to the existing one (be it in a different directory, or not), with the difference that it is freshly built out of a different working directory (but still using the same fresh new sources)? For obvious reasons, I'm somewhat apprehensive about trying this on my live server (though I could possibly (ab)use my fallback server for it), and was kind of hoping there would be an easy way to just compile the mod_autoindex module, using the patched source... It appears I may have to fiddle around somewhat more with this, unless someone knows of a good way to achieve just that...? Cheers! Olafo
