Thanks, I compiled and installed apache2.2.4 in usr/local/apache2 (by default). I have disabled Web Sharing in prefs from the start. After the install and initial start command I noticed it was using the httpd.conf file from private/etc/httpd (this is shipped from Apple and will start apache version 1.3.3). I also noticed this was the version of apache that was running. I killed those pids in activity monitor and then issued the following command to start apache. ap0041-macosx:/usr/local/apache2 arthurpesa$ sudo /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl -f /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf -k start (48)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80 (48)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down Unable to open logs ap0041-macosx:/usr/local/apache2 arthurpesa$ As you can see it claims to be shutting down, but it actually is running. I know this because I have a page that generates a 403 access error and in the resulting apache access error page it states the version as apache 2.2.4. Sorry for the long response and thanks for your help, -Pat On 5/16/07 9:21 AM, "Robert T Wyatt" <robert.wyatt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Arthur Pesa wrote: >> I have downloaded and compiled apache 2.2.4 on my Mac Powerbook G4 OS X >> 10.4.9.
