Things look quiet here. But I've been doing a lot of blogging at
dan.langille.org because I prefer WordPress now.
Not all my posts there are FreeBSD related.
I am in the midst of migrating The FreeBSD Diary over to WordPress
(and you can read about that here).
Once the migration is completed, I'll move the FreeBSD posts into the
new FreeBSD Diary website.

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WARNING: I suspect the tarball referenced by this article is very out of date.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:
samples/apache13-fp-modssl.tar.gz
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. |
