This would have to be put in the Application section at freebsd.org. People, through the documentation, should be encouraged to understand that they can put the Web Configuration files & other files wherever they logically would like to as Apache lets them and not to be confined to a proposed directory structure which is different from the default of the original program. I myself never installed Apache through the ports, except by accident, and only used it after understanding the whole directory structure...etc. Thanx, RAK ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Randy A.
