I installed FreeBSD 6.0 (Production Release) on an oldish i386
system. During the install, I asked to install "ALL". The
install went flawlessly.
I need Apache on this system for some software development, so I
followed these instructions I found at:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html
:
# pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui
# cvsup -L 2 -h cvsup.FreeBSD.org
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
# cd /usr/ports/www/apache13
# make
# make install
Everything to this point went smoothly!
As well it should have, since you followed correct procedure. =)

/usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf ONLY to set the ServerName to the
IP address of the machine. However, when I try to start apache I
get:
#/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start
/usr/local/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get ANY version of
Apache running on a new install of FreeBSD 6?
Apache and most other add-on daemons on FreeBSD require that you
explicitly enable them to run in /etc/rc.conf. Have you got a line
apache2_enable="YES"
in your rc.conf?
The need for this as well as the proper syntax should be noted in
the file /usr/ports/www/apache2/pkg-msg. For any other port you
install there's probably gold nuggets of info in its pkg-msg file.
This stuff displays during the make install, but then so does
several K of other info so it's not hard to miss these things.
