At home I started from scratch with the Apache files, read the docs, and
eventualy got it working. Its working here as well now. I think that my
prob was that I had my sections opening it up for me at the start of the
config files instead of at the end. This is what I ended up with and it
works.
At end of acess.conf:

Ok I'll try that. I notice that when I change the configs apache does
notice
as the access log detects that but I play safe and started and stopped
it with
the script from /etc/rc.d/init.d (sto, start, status).

Yep! Who gives freeee ones?
Thanks for the suggestions you all made. Thanks ken for the tips also to
check
all dirs for x. The computer experiment for next semester
is coming along fine now. I can run my Monte Carlo simulation from
Netscape.
