Jim, I installed Fed Core 6 on this machine about a week ago, I remember starting httpd successfully on this machine. I dont know if httpd stopped on its own or when I did the "security" upgrades. Do you know of any "upgrades" that may cause conflict with a basic install? Do you think it would be wise to re-install? Thanks, Michael
