Any suggestions? > > Thanks > Mike It sounds like a hostname error. Does Apache know it is answering as localhost? You may want to double-check your `Listen' and `ServerName' directives. A quick test is to try lynx to the local ip address and see what happens. BTW, did you run `apachectl configtest' prior to starting Apache? That will help you with any issues, although if it is running, I am not sure configtest would find it. -- Bob "Play is the work of children. It's very serious stuff.
