It's mv'ing index.html to index.shtml that causes the
permission error. I did a mv, not a cp, so there was not
both index.* files at the same time. Having an index2.html
or not makes no difference. It's still an unknown... .

Okay, thanks for the datapoint. I've put it back; still
nothing....

The directory /usr/local/www/wwdata points to a virtual
webste, my library writing group, wordwranglers.thought.org;
Her is a cut/paste of that entry. Maybe it will tell you
something.
<VirtualHost 216.39.168.249:80>
ServerAdmin kline@thought.org
DocumentRoot "/usr/local/www/wwdata"
ErrorDocument 404 /404page.html
ServerName wordwranglers.thought.org
ErrorLog /home/kline/tmp/error.log
<Directory />
Options +Includes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
The <Directory /> entry here makes no difference. I can
comment itor not and the text-counter still fails to
display anhything!
