My purpose: Learn FreeBSD, learn Apache, build simple web server.
Hardware: Dedicated i386 machine, three big HDs (120GB, 120GB, 200GB)
OS: FreeBSD 5.3. No X windows installed (maybe later?)
Apps: Also intend to use postfix, majordomo, samba
LAN: Serve LAN with Windows machines, all LAN IPs are fixed.
Internet: Fixed IPs available to be used later.
Web pages: I have many web pages (no java) that I would like to
copy from their present server to a local server.
My new 5.3 installation includes these ports:
apache-contrib
apache-forrest
apache-jserv
apache13
apache13+ipv6
apache13-modperl
apache13-modssl
apache13-modssl+ipv6
apache13-ssl
apache2
As I'm learning from scratch, am I correct in assuming that I would
be better off to start with apache2, or should I use one of the
flavors of apache13 (1.3) and perhaps upgrade later?
If I use 1.3, why would I use anything other than the apache13 port?
Links to "how to do it" web pages would be appreciated.
