ChangeLog:

1.2: Updated version of Apache, mod_ssl, and mod_php. Since mod_perl doesn't work as a DS0, in this version we compile mod_ssl and mod_perl in statically and also use DSO support so you can compile other goodies like /usr/ports/www/mod_*.

High Performance Statically compiled Web Server with SSL, PHP, and Perl support. Don't bother trying Apache from ports with mod_ssl & mod_perl as DSO's. It doesn't work.

You will install the following programs:

Apache
mod_perl
mod_ssl
mod_php

Install from the FreeBSD Packages/Ports Collection:

pkg_add -r mm
pkg_add -r gettext
pkg_add -r libtool
pkg_add -r apache
pkg_add -r p5-libwww
pkg_add -r mysql-server
