</span>I am using the apache22 from the OmniOS "add-on" repository at<br>
<a href="http://ms.omnios.com" target="_blank">ms.omnios.com</a>. It works perfectly and is absolutely good enough.<br>
Apache was installed on the server while it was running 012, but<br>
the server is now updated to 014. Apache still works fine under 014.<br>
However, it serves only static content here, no Drupal.<br>
<br>
As document root, I created a separate ZFS dataset, called it<br>
/www, and edited httpd.conf accordingly.<br>
<br>
<br>
HTH and regards -- Volker<br>
