Hello, Andy The problem had been that when I attempted to browse pages on my own website, on the same computer that I run the server on, most pages would never finish loading. For instance, on some pages in my Gallery2 installation, maybe one thumbnail would load, then the browser would just continue with the usual "Transferring data from www.afolkey2.net", "Waiting for www.afolkey2.net", "Read www.afolkey2.net" Then I found out that my brother Dave had no problems accessing the site from his computer. So that got me thinking.... Did a little searching on Google and I ended up changing /etc/hosts from: # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost To: # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 127.0.0.1 afolkey2.net www.afolkey2.net This fixed my problem. This brings up another question. I don't remember what my /etc/hosts "USED" to look like before this issue started, but I know a few things: 1. I never had this problem until shortly before I started this thread. 2. I Did Not make any changes to /etc/hosts. No one else in our house, no one else at all, in fact, has root access to this machine. All I know for sure is that everything works now. Thank you for your attention. Steven P. Ulrick P.S.: As an experiment, I commented out my addition to /etc/hosts and restarted my network and httpd. The result was that it went right back to not loading almost every page that I tried. I un-commented out my new additions, restarted the network and httpd, and then simply clicked refresh on the webbrowser that was still "trying" to load a page on my site. The result was that the page loaded as desired. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
