hello Kaushal, it is not possible to install this package with pkgadd if you don't have root access to the machine. it is possible however to compile your own copy of apache 1.3.33 using the source code from http.apache.org - and run it as your unprivileged user - however you will also need to use a non-privileged and not the standard port (80). i think there is also a way to create a package that can be installed by non-root users in their own work space but the user:group ownership of each file/directory should be set accordingly in the prototype file that is used to create the package. greetings, Stoyan _______________________________________________ Solaris-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/solaris-users
