Thanx. > [CC sent] Look in the packages distribution for apache. The current release is version 1.1.1, and it runs fine on FreeBSD 2.1R. I expect no problems with later editions of FBSD. Make sure your firewall is set to pass packets for port 80 (the standard http port). Also in /etc/sysconfig set the entry for apache_httpd to YES. After you install Apache, you'll have a new directory tree starting with /usr/local/www -- data/ is the base directory for your pages. For more info on Apache, check out http://www.apache.org . -- Ken Are you interested in | byte-sized education | http://www.play-hookey.com over the Internet? |
