Thanks. The syntax is OK according to apachectl. I set: ServerName spyder.condonia.org User webuser Group webgroup DocumentRoot /web/site.burps/htdocs This URL contains the same HTML code that I'm working with: http://www.eskimo.com/~tomc/BURPS.html so it looks pretty clean as far as HTML goes. I do not have an index.html doc in that directory. Having made these changes to apache.conf I restarted apache, then tried again. I get: ****************************************************** Forbidden You don't have permission to access /BURPS.html on this server. --------------------------------------- Apache/1.3.27 Server at spyder.condonia.org Port 80 ****************************************************** This happens when I access it either through the name or the IP. I checked, and changed all of the /web directories and files to be owned by webuser:webgroup. No effect. I know better than to leave it that way, and will be changing it back momentarily. The config file has no "Allow" or "Deny" in any combination of cases. Next step? In Harmony's Way and In A Chord, Tom ;-}) Tom.
