Simo, First of all "Thank you!" and I really mean that. I really appreciate this list and the=e people on it who try to help each other. I believe the directories are readable by www-data, since www-data is a member of the manhat "Group" and manhat is a member of the "www-data" group. How can I verify this is the case? What command can I issue to see what "rights" the www-data "User" and "Group" have on those directories? I think you make a good point, I want to explore this possibility. Thanks again,

I guess that your virtual host files contain more than just the ScriptAlias directives, right? For setting up a virtual host, take a look at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/ Assuming that you have the Directory directives in which you have the Allow from all (and other necessary options), are the directories under /home/manhat/ accessible and readable by www-data?
