(My original thread had been the meta of "how can one be expected to ask questions of maintainers when...") What I'd like from apache24 I'd like to get it so that I can 'pkg install' a version of apache24, and I'd like there to be a pkg of mod_suexec like there are many other modules. Right now, enabling suexec is a compile-time thing, you can't just apxs install mod_suexec the way you'd do most other modules. What I'd like to see is those options set by default, since they're otherwise harmless if you don't have the suexec module *and* some suexec config (in apache 1.3 land, there was no config, having the suexec binary present enabled the feature -- in apache 2.x, any config that affects this module has its own language). I'm trying not to have to install most of my stuff from pkg, but have to use port (and track the quarterly ports tree, which portsnap can't do) just to maintain apache. -Dan > >> -Dan >> >> >> -- >> >> --------Dan Mahoney-------- >> Techie, Sysadmin, WebGeek >> Gushi on efnet/undernet IRC >> FB: fb.com/DanielMahoneyIV >> LI: linkedin.com/in/gushi >> Site: http://www.gushi.org >> --------------------------- >> >> > > -- > Member - Liberal International This is doctor@nk.ca <mailto:doctor@nk.ca> Ici doctor@nk.ca <mailto:doctor@nk.ca> > Yahweh, Queen & country!Never Satan President Republic!Beware AntiChrist rising! > Look at Psalms 14 and 53 on Atheism https://www.empire.kred/ROOTNK?t=94a1f39b <https://www.empire.kred/ROOTNK?t=94a1f39b> > Evil ascribes to others what it is guilty of. -unknown Beware https://mindspring.com <https://mindspring.com/>
