I *have* 1. I've edited /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf so it reads ... # DocumentRoot "/var/www/html" DocumentRoot "/mnt/SharedFiles/www" ... 2. I've commented out /etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf 3. the /mnt/SharedFiles/www is owned by 'root' and the 'common' group of which apache is a member. But i still get the content from /var/www/error/noindex.html Something someone isn't working as I expected! Thanks for your patience guys. Duncan
