The error log is full of this line -
[Mon Jan 31 17:37:11 2000] [alert] mod_unique_id: unable to gethostbyname("chip.homenet")
This machine I am running this on is called chip and my homenetwork is called
homenet, thus chip.homenet
My guess is I will need to change this?

Yes I am starting it as root.
One item I did change is the following -
DocumentRoot "/usr/local/www/data.default" - was originally
/usr/local/ww/data
but my directory has a file (link) to data.default which links to
/usr/local/share/doc/apache
When I move into the directory /usr/local/www/data.default
I get the html page that says It Worked! Apache Web
Server is installed on this web site!
