Then start httpd and Apache should pick them up and bingo you are back on the internet with your web page. Just as an aside though , if you used MS FrontPage to do the web site, it will not conform to the W3C standards. Some browsers may not render it properly. It is not to bad to fix if you use Quanta+ and revise some of the html a bit. HTH -- Dennis M. linux user #180842
