Could yousend me your latest Apache ports so that I can be sure that it operates properly with the mod_frontpage port. Q. How are you handling the custom settings for each ports httpd.conf? Are you putting them into ...? Or does APXS put the appropriate LoadModule/AddModule entries in the httpd.conf when the port gets installed? I have a patch for apachectl that allows you to define which ports modules you want to use. i.e. apachectl start_FP_SSL_PHP3 apachectl will then start the server with "httpd -DFP -DSSL -DPHP3". I was also thinking of fixing the apache Makefile so that it would use an external Ports Config file: apache.ports: frontpage FP ssl SSL php PHP3 php4 PHP4 jserv JSERV This way we wouldn't have to patch the main apache port's Makefile for each new module port that gets submitted. It would use this file to create the appropriate LoadModule/AddModule .. entries in the httpd.conf-dist file. This file could also be used by the apache.sh script to determine which modules exist on the system and to configure apache to use them.
