Thanks Johan, Scott, and Tim

I did try to reconcile and follow all of your advice; I did learn something,
but basically it's all gummed up now.

what's missing here for me is:

a fundamental understanding of the relationships between
server, website, web app, web module, 
 --and-- 
global application, default web app

,what files these should be defined in, and where these file go.

for expample, is the default web app just another app, or is it a special
thing that must be there untampered-with.

It's all pretty bewildering to a newbie, and nowhere on orion site do i see a
straightforward explanation/primer of the above. AFTER I grasp this, i'm less
likely to ask dumb config questions or make things worse.

thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction.
