not to sound sharp, but what happened with Google for you? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-bind9.html cd /usr/ports/www/apache13 && make && make install On 5/3/06, John Dworske <jdworske@hotmail.com> wrote:> > > Dear FreeBSD Folks, > > Help me...yeah...OK...so here it goes...I am brand new to > FreeBSD...installed OS onto a box from > a set of floppies I got off the net... > > Last login: Wed May 3 14:37:21 2006 from 10.10.20.20 > Copyright (c) 1980, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1994 > The Regents of the University of California.

Bind is part of the base system, and Apache part of the ports collection. While this is true for FreeBSD 4.9 as well, you shouldn't use such an old release unless you have a reason.

You should use 5.4 or 6.0, or, preferably, wait for about a week and use 5.5 or 6.1. I would recommend 6.X; 5.X is at this point essentially a 'legacy branch' (5.5 is the last of its series, and intended only as an upgrade path from 5.4.) There is a lot of documentation on www.freebsd.org that you should start with; after that, if you still have questions, the freebsd-questions mailing list is probably your best bet. Good luck, you'll find there is a lot to learn. mcl
