You should use a real name that resolves to at least one of your computer's IP addresses. Adding "computer" to the end of the /etc/hosts entry for your machine may be enough to get you going for now. Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx> ========================= I have been having trouble changing the directive because I cannot find the httpd.conf file. I though it would be in /usr/local/etc/httpd/httpd.conf, however, while logged in as root, the httpd directory seems not to exist. Since I know httpd is installed, I think I'm looking in the wrong place. Can someone point me in the right direction? Also I was just reading this book on Apache (O'Reilly) and it mentioned something about how the Linux version of Apache has only the httpd module and no other DSOs. Could this be part of my problem? __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail Stay connected, organized, and protected. Take the tour: http://tour.mail.yahoo.com/mailtour.html
