I don't think index.html was changed, but I only took a quick look.
I have it backed up in a tgz file, so when the Linux box comes back up
(maybe tomorrow), I'll take a closer look
 
It is also possible that there was something wrong with httpd.config .
It is quite complex, with numerous RewriteRule, etc.  However, even
when I commented out ALL the virtual hosts, the problem persisted.
But if I left a simple vhost and put a RewiteRule that (for reasons that I don't
know) it didn't like, then it returned a failure.  When I put it back together,
I'll build up httpd.config slowly.
 
Thanks,

Was the index.html file modified in anyway?  Did it call the executable?  Any rewrites or any other files added to the path index.html resided?

It was not overwritten.  If you looked on the server, it was just fine.
But an executable was delivered instead.  In any case, it is gone
with the wind -- DBAN is now running on the server. Hopefully,
the reinstallation will work better.

Following your suggestion, I made use of my daily backups to install
the httpd.conf from two days ago, when all was well. The problem was
the same.  I tried sublitting a file to sophos, but I would have to
join, and I am not ready for that.  See also my next email.

Still heading toward DBAN.

Thanks,
Mike.
