(Newbie, like I said.)
Yes, that's the right way. The Linux installation instructions, which told you to put the conf file in /etc/httpd/conf.d, seem to rely on the fact that that Linux installation's Apache configuration automatically loads all conf files in the /etc/httpd/conf.d directory. MacPorts Apache doesn't automatically load conf files in a directory; it only reads httpd.conf. So if you want to also load a secondary conf file, you put the file somewhere (the "extra" directory seems like a fine choice) and then manually add an Include directive to the httpd.conf. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
