Installing Apache with FrontPage/SSL
23 December 1999
|
|
This article shows how I finally managed to get Apache installed with FrontPage/SSL. WARNING: I suspect the tarball referenced by this article is very out of date. I make no promises it will work. You may well be wasting your time. |

First attempts
|
| My first attempts were with the apache13-fp port. I had no luck with that. There were problems with the install of apache itself and eventually publishing with Front Page caused problems. Eventually, at the suggestion of someone else, I gave up and tried a more recent version which is not yet in the ports. However, I now suspect I may know what the problems were with my apache-fp install. It's great knowing such stuff after the fact. |

Success
|
| I was given a port tarball from someone I know on IRC. I've supplied a copy of
this file for you:
You should fetch this file, untar it, and then make the port: cd /usr/ports/www fetch http:/path/to/apache13-fp-modssl.tar.gz tar xvfz apache13-fp-modssl.tar.gz cd apache13-fp-modssl make make install If you are having trouble with the install phase, here are the options I used to install my apache. Of more importance is Installing a new virtual web with FP2000 extensions. |
