This is valid advice. However, since you say your are new to FreeBSD (and, perhaps, *nix?), I would break the process down like this. Use a terminal (xterm) to do run these commands. Otherwise, excuse the simplicity. I'll assume you're using sudo for root privilege. 1. It's easiest to use the ports tree (/usr/ports). Apache is in the www directory under /usr/ports. So, go there. cd /usr/ports/www There are a few versions you could install when it comes to Apache. You can see them with ls -d apache* 'apache13' is the most straight forward to start with. So, go into this directory, cd apache13 2. Fetch, extract, and compile. Check the Makefile for things you can modify to your needs. more Makefile Look for "defined(...)" or "!defined(...)". For example, .if (!defined(WITHOUT_APACHE_EXPAT)... In the case of Apache 1.3.x you can specify "-DWITHOUT_APACHE_EXPAT". If you're unsure about this, then forget about it. Just compile and install. Or extract, sudo make extract which will usually tell you what you can modify on the command line. Otherwise, sudo make You can do the make and install in one line. sudo make install If your were to exclude expat support, then you would use this sudo make -DWITHOUT_APACHE_EXPAT sudo make install or sudo make -DWITHOUT_APACHE_EXPAT install You can remove the installation and start over by running sudo make deinstall and sudo rm -rf ./work where ./ assumes you are already in /usr/ports/www/apache13/. This gets rid of the work directory that 'make extract' created. You don't have to do it like this all the time. But once you're familiar with the basic process, you will discover your own refined process.
