I'm pretty comfortable working in a Linux environment so I thought I'd tackle this project in FreeBSD because of BSD's reputation for stability and security. Part of the ETBWMGR's requirements is to have apache installed, which is normally fine. I used the /stand/sysinstall program to install a basic version of apache: # /stand/sysinstall Configure -> Packages -> www -> apache-1.3.29_3 However, now when I go to install php, I get an error message (Error code 1) and when I try to remove the check box next to the apache package, I get a "This package is required by 2 other packages" error message. So, my questions is simple: What do I need to do to figure out what packages require apache to be installed? I've worked with SuSE's YAST tool and RPM's (and tools that manage RPM's... like YAST), but what's the BSD way to go about this? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. -- Warm regards, Jordan Michaels Vivio Technologies http://www.viviotech.net/ jordan@viviotech.net
