For more info see this thread here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-httpd-users&m=107153065731172&w=2 A basic installation of apache+php on freebsd would be something like: (note the below presumes you don't already have the ports installed, to uninstall just run 'make deinstall' in each of the respective port directories). - install apache from ports: cd /usr/ports/www/apache13 && make clean install - install mod_php4 from ports: cd /usr/ports/www/mod_php4 && make clean install (choose the options you want, although the basics are fine to start with :P) - modify your /usr/local/etc/httpd.conf file so that the ServerName is set to a domain that resolves for you - localhost is ok as long as there's a line in /etc/hosts resolving localhost to 127.0.0.1. - finally start the httpd: rehash && apachectl start That should be all you need to do to get things up and running. The mod_php4 port install adds the required lines to your httpd.conf file: LoadModule php4_module libexec/apache/libphp4.so AddModule mod_php4.c <IfModule mod_php4.c> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps </IfModule> as well as an addition to the DirectoryIndex line so that index.php is treated as being the default index page. You shouldn't have to do anything special to get php scripts to work from under the default DocumentRoot - which is /usr/local/www/data by default iirc on freebsd.
