Thanks to both of you. I'm tied up for a few more days but I plan to try both methods.
FreeBSD's base installation doesn't include a webserver
Actually, Every FreeBSD release I have ever installed, though it's in source form, contains THTTPD (Tiny Hypertext Transfer Protocol Daemon) in the /usr/src collection. It supports CGI, multi-threading, and .htaccess/htpasswd files. Only down side to it, it only supports GET and POST, it doesn't support HEAD, and since it uses poorly implemented multi-threading, if a lot of people connect the system's load average will cause it to crash. But it does (in my experiances with FreeBSD) come packaged with the installation.

I have FreeBSD on one of my other machines. Now I'm trying to get comfortable with it and find out where everything is and how to work it. I bought the book "The Complete FreeBSD" by Greg Lehey which was a mistake and I can't return it because I marked it up. It might prove useful once I get more knowledgeable but it's not for beginners.
Today I bought "FreeBSD Unleashed". I flipped through it last year with a copy from the library. Some don't like it for the errors or whatever but I need something I can lay in bed and read. (I'm such a geek).
I'd also like to get japheths's or ultrano (I think) httpd server working but that would be a side project. FreeBSD gets you back to the command line so you're not distracted with all the pretty windows and blinking lights. I feel like a computer guy again.
