This will pick the current version. If apache is installed in some other directory as well and that directory is presentin the environment variable PATH first, then problem may arise.These two responses combined to give the answer I needed. Httpd -V showed me that what I was launching was the copy of Apache that comes with Mac OS X. Iwasn't aware that unix searches for executables in the PATH but not the current directory, unlike DOS. So being in the correct directory and just typing 'httpd' did NOT launch the copy in that directory, it launched one from somewhere else. No wonder I was confused! Thank you guys for helping to clear this up for me. Now to grapple with the next problem(s)...
You may find it useful to add . (current directory) at some point (beginning?) in your PATH definitions (.profile and/or /etc/profile ?). --J --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
