How-to install a apache http (ftp connect) proxy under FreeBSD 5.3

###### NOTE ######
If you want more then a http proxy, remember to alter the make
command (and httpd.conf) to fit to your needs.

Availible options
proxy_ftp
proxy_http
proxy_connect

Example:
if you want ftp and http proxy you make command looks like
make WITH_MODULES="proxy_http proxy_ftp access" install
#################




It's quite easy:
-cd /usr/ports/www/apache

-make WITH_MODULES="proxy_http access" install #if you want more look at the note
-cd /usr/local/etc/apache2
-fetch http://wleiden.webweaving.org:8080/svn/node-config/other/proxy/apache/httpd.conf
-Alter httpd.conf to match your specific config
echo 'apache2_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh start

Add to /etc/newsyslog.conf:

        /var/log/httpd-access.log   600  1     100  *     J  /var/run/httpd.pid
        /var/log/httpd-error.log   600  1     100  *     J  /var/run/httpd.pid

and check/confirm with

	newsyslog -nv
	newsyslog -C

Some notes:
-If you are running your server behind a firewall, make sure to generate
rules to allow the traffic
-To speed up your proxy make sure you are running a caching nameserver

All Done,enjoy  ;-)
