Gustin, My intention is to eventually stay with Debian, primarily because from the little that I have experienced with it, I prefer it over others. However, I am using other distros right now, in situations where I start to "stare" at Debian. In the case of Apache, I found the so-called 'default' easy to learn from. After that, I hope to see how Debian config files are laid out. My reasons for using source, is strictly 'learning', but I am told that with the source you can construct the directories however you want. The following is an example of one successful attempt (last night): ./configure --enable-layout=RedHat --enable-ssl=shared --enable-auth-digest=shared --enable-proxy=shared && make && make install
This was on a FC4. Sample webpage signon popped up after several attempts. I admit, the arguments etc. are daunting for me right now. Thanks again.
