What you could do is comment "apache_enable=yes" in rc.conf when you're not using it. Then if you need to start apache later on, just uncomment the line then do a /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache start Antoine _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
