FreeBSD offers two very easy options when it comes to installing the Apache web server. So easy that in fact you do not need a "unix guru" at all (for this task). Perhaps the most user friendly method is through /stand/sysinstall as the "Web Server" item in the "Index" menu. A less user friendly method is via something like: # cd /usr/ports/www/apache && make install # cd /usr/local/etc/apache && vi httpd.conf If you still have difficulty installing Apache, post specific details here. Hope that helps, -Ted
