What version of the operating system are you using? When did you last update your ports tree? These're both important for us to know. But, you should know that apache on FreeBSD is fantastic.

Weird custom configuration files in weird locations. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
