After suggestions from several people, I compiled the binaries using the netbsd predefines (after changing paths, etc). This worked Ok. However, the httpd reports "httpd: could not bind to port 80 bind: Address already in use" on stdout when executed. What's already using the port? I even tried replacing the old exec with the new, and doing a reboot (so nothing should be using port 80)... (I'm using the httpd via inetd, not standalone...) I have tried compiling with and without Multiple Child Architecture support, hostname resolution, authentication and secure logs etc but no joy. According to the upgrade instructions, all I need do is update the config files (done) and copy the new httpd executable over the old (v1.3). I'm pretty sure the below line in my inetd.conf is correct, but please check it out (I'm not sure what all the specifiers do!) httpd stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/httpd httpd and in /etc/services the 2 lines http 80/tcp http http 80/udp These configs worked fine for v1.3 - I haven't changed them. Using Netscape, I get the "httpd: could not bind...etc..." error message when connecting to the site. So the httpd is starting, and can output somehow... Any help appreciated! -Ewan -Ewan McPhail BSc.Grad at UND, South Africa
