Hi Rob -- The book I was telling you about is "Professional Apache" by Peter Wainwright. It is published by Wrox Press, 1999. It was $49.99 at Borders. 446 pages + Appendices + Index (616 pages total). Sometimes I try to get a feel for a book by browsing it's contents. Here's the Chapter Titles from the Table of Contents. Introduction Ch. 1 - Apache and the Internet Ch. 2 - Getting Started with Apache Ch. 3 - Building Apache the Way You Want It Ch. 4 - Configuring Apache the Way you Want It Ch. 5 - Deciding What the Client Needs Ch. 6 - Delivering Dynamic Content Ch. 7 - Hosting More tThen One Web site Ch. 8 - Improving Apache's Performance Ch. 9 - Monitoring Apache Ch. 10 - Securing Apache Append. A - Useful RFCs Append. B - Apache Variants Append. C - The Apache License Append. D - Environment Variables Append. E - Server Side Includes Append. F - Regular Expressions Append. G - Third Party Apache Modules Append. H - HTTP Headers and Status Codes Append. J - Directives by Module Append. K - Directives by Name Index I found the book very helpful in resolving Apache issues with E-Smith (getting E-Smith to do things it was never meant to do!). Woody
