I found the answers to my questions all by myself. Just one more reboot took care of it. I got msg saying apache FP started and them I used one of the Winboxs on the LAN behind the FBSD gateway and got into my new installed apache using http://10.0.10.2 The webpage displayed has links to the apache documentation and the FrontPage documentation on this FBSD box. All set. Thanks any way.

Got apache_FP to start. Now I an new to apache so this is what it looks like happened to me. Good thing I started "script" to log all console msgs before I issued the 'make install clean' command. At the end of the install I was asked questions and entered answers. Reading this over I got an idea of what was happening and added to this the msg in the /var/log/httpd.log kind of turned the lights on. My FBSD box did not have a previous apache install. Apache needs to know where he is and uses the hostname=gateway.barbish.com statement from rc.conf to identify where home is. He think this hostname is a real public domain name and tries to do look it up. My firewall allows dns requests out and back in so apache finds that hostname is not a real domain and he stops with the first msg I posted previously. I tried putting www.barbish.com the name I wanted to use for the Apache base server in /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf keyword ServerName. Rebooted got same message. I then added to the /etc/hosts file 10.0.10.2 www.barbish.com where 10.0.10.2 is the private address of my LAN Nic card. Rebooted and this time got past the first msg but got a new msg about not starting FrontPage. Checked out the httpd.log and there was a msg about FrontPage could not find gateway.barbish.com. Changed /etc/hosts entry from www.barbish.com to gateway.barbish.com, rebooted, got msg about not starting FrontPage again, checked httpd.log had msg about mime file not found, so I created it, rebooted and this time it started, or at least I did not get msgs saying it did not start. Did a ps ax and could not see it. How can I tell if it's running? I have users who use win FrontPage 2000 to create web pages and post them to win2000 servers. I want to set up apache_FP to receive one of those FrontPage developed sites for testing. Where can I find documentation on setting up the server for a one page base server and then a second server for fp testing? I am not clear on apache environment. Only one Base server and every thing else are virtual hosts? The httpd.conf comments talk about base server and virtual hosts, that's where I am getting this from.

So, Joe, looks like you can do it with your machine's private IP: http://192.168.0.xx/ or the like Let me know how it works out... I might put on some internal boxes too...
