As you may all gather, I'm a FreeBSD guy when it comes to web servers, when I can bring myself to tear away from Windows + Apache32.

So.

My webserver is now running FreeBSD 5.4 with Apache 2.0 + PHP4 and MySQL. Yes, I know the gurus say use Apache 1.3, but I have yet to find any serious issues, and PHP5 doesn't have native MySQL support, which is annoying.

A buddy of mine helped immensely in remotely doing a lot of the ground work, but I need to maintain this thing on a day to day basis. What I could use some pointers on is where the major configuration files are generally stored. I end up cd'ing all over the place only to find some files are in /etc while others are in /usr/local and so on, ad nauseam.

So. The other thing is, I want to get a mailserver up plus web-based mail on it so I can have my Very Own E-mail Address. Pointers?
