No you did help. You made me think in ways I wouldn't have otherwise. Like if you didn't mention the prob with sphinx not working, I wouldn't have even thought to go back and undo what I had done with the DB and sphinx. I had completely forgotten I had even done it. And thank you for the link. I will check it out as soon as I have the chance. For now I have to get back to the reason this server was being setup to begin with before my friend shows up to kick my @$$ for not being done already!
