That's exactly what I am talking about. Leaving out the dependencies to any kind of web-server completely would be fine with me, because, yes, I do have webservers running on all hosts on which I need them. I usually do this prior to installing software like drupal, roundcube or whatever. As you already said, this will probably be the general case anyway. -- http://www.dimensionv.de/ http://tech.nifelheim.info/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - OpenPGP Fingerprint: E03D 33DB B409 2E99 C2DA 7D64 145F 0A76 D252 7078 Key: http://www.dimensionv.de/pgp (+ all public key-servers) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
