The easiest way is probably to just install it from ports using the PREFIX variable: # make PREFIX=/usr/local/www/data-dist install clean That puts phpMyAdmin in /usr/local/www/data-dist right from the start. No copying, no linking, no hassle. >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Richard Biffl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> I'm setting up a FreeBSD server for the first time.

You could also create aliases in /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf like this: Alias /phpMyAdmin/ /usr/local/www/data.default/ That leaves all the ports installed in very much their default locations, you're just telling apache where to look.
