I looked at the bugs on www.debian.org and didn't see mine described, so I thought I bounce it off of this group.
I installed potato. That was my first mistake. I haven't been able to get samba working nor will apache work. Nothing seems wrong with the install, but I can't get pages to display right. There is an index.html file in the /var/www directory but apache isn't looking for it there. Sorry about the wasted bandwidth. Somehow I sent the message before I finished. Can anyone tell me how to get apache working again? Thanks, Jim. It seems to be looking in /usr/htdocs. However I get the message, "The requested URL / was not found on this server". When I look at the error log I see: [Tue Dec 5 16:17:27 2000] [error] [client 169.238.221.206] File does not exist : /usr/htdocs/ [Tue Dec 5 16:17:49 2000] [error] [client 169.238.221.206] File does not exist : /usr/htdocs/ There is an index.html file in /usr/htdocs, see: chinaberry:/usr/htdocs# ls -ld drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Dec 5 16:28 . chinaberry:/usr/htdocs# ls -l total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4094 Dec 5 14:44 index.html chinaberry:/usr/htdocs# ls -ld /usr drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 1024 Dec 5 14:42 /usr chinaberry:/usr/htdocs# It does display it as if it were a text file if I specifically address it (http://chinaberry.peachtree.sgi.com/index.html).
