> No one else seems to be having this problem. What version are you > trying to install? I'm using the current one from stable, which appears to be apache_1.3.33-6sarge. I've tried uninstalling everything down to the libapr0, deleting /etc/apache and /var/www, then installing again to no avail; see attached transcript. -- The more I use other operating systems, the more I like Debian GNU/Linux http://www.debian.org http://www.gnu.org http://www.linux.org
