But Tim also has 1.2.9 running that I suspect he doesn't want blown away as he migrates to Apache 2.3, and on that basis, I would *not* use the portmanager at all, for fear it would overwrite the existing 1.2.9 Apache. Also, when you run configure and do *not* give it the --prefix option, the default location for installing Apache is "/usr/local/apache2/". -spc (I've had very bad experiences with various package managers, so I tend not to trust them at all ... ) --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
