If you were missing "programs", as you call them, apache won't even compile. Show your configure cmnd with arguments, please. Here's an example ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2.0.54 --enable-proxy --enable-proxy-connect --enable-proxy-http --enable-ssl --disable-status --disable-negotiation --disable-imap --enable-rewrite It is enabling some default disable modules and vice-versa. You may get yours from the source directory where you compiled apache by doing $ head configure.log | grep cpnfigure also show your httpd.conf portion that loads all modules. Suggestion: Switch to apache 2.0.54, since 2.0.52 had security vulnerabilities http://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_20.html Regards Aman Raheja http://www.techquotes.com On Wed, 01 Jun 2005 02:33:09 +0200, Patrick Donker <list@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote : > Broming plutonium wrote: > > >Hi everyone, > > > >Is anyone here running the UNIX version of Apache > >2.0.52 (that you compiled yourself) on a Linux > >machine?
