Halaluia! I just found the problem. After discovering the log files at 
/private/var/log/apache2, I read the log and found the error "an unknown filter 
was not added: includes”. So, that led me to think that some module was not 
loaded and that was eventually found to be mod_include!

Lesson: Read the dang error logs.
Lesson: Make sure all the dang modules you need are Included.

Thanks for your consideration. I works now.

Jack
