[gentoo-user] Apache server setup

[Peter Humphrey]

Hi List,

Is there a guide to setting up an Apache server on a Gentoo system? I'm 
having difficulty getting the SSI module started; also the top-level 
.htaccess file that comes from the production server Out There throws an 
error on my local LAN server: "/home/prh/public_html/.htaccess: Options 
not allowed here".

I run a website whose pages all have the same menu bar below the title, 
so to simplify maintenance of the 130 pages I've extracted that bit of 
HTML into an included page. This works fine on the production server but 
not on the local server.

Of course there's lots of documentation of Apache on their site, but the 
config on Gentoo differs from the standard and I find the Gentoo docs 
unhelpful - they seem to assume a good working knowlege of Apache and 
just show the differences from other setups.
