Yes, I am sure I can build and install it from source without any trouble. What I am uncertain of however is how to get the machine to launch the Apache2 webserver as opposed to the the default one installed on the system. I am also assuming that if I install Apache2, I would no longer be able to use the Sharing panel to turn the server on/off and would need to do so from the command line. I can't imagine this is terribly difficult...I just don't know the answer.
---------------- End original message. ---------------------If you were running a flavor of Redhat or a similar Linux distribution, I'd be able to help you.
Unfortunately, how Apple has chosen to do things is out of my area of expertise.
I do know that the current Mac OS is based on a flavor of BSD, I am wondering if they might use a similar start-up scripting method as the BSD distributions. At any rate, it would be something to ping the Mac support lists about to see what they can do to help you.
