Hello All: Just a comment on what is written below. I've noticed what seems to be a high number of these types of answers (e.g. its in the docs *READ* them!)...Which makes me wonder why ppl don't? I participate in a number of NG and this one seems to have more of its share of:"I just turned on Apache and it does not work - help." I am curious as to why this is happening. I could understand if one had to go to the library and look for books on the the subject, but in this day of instant information and the huge amount of documentation on the net in various forms, why don't ppl take the time to look for it? (lazy???) Perhaps its the view of the world that its easy to set up, config, and run Apache and/or Linux? (isn't installing Apache just like installing Word??? lol). I am developing a tendancy to ignore posts from ppl who ask for help without giving some indication of having tried to solve it themselves. After all, taking the time to read and respond to these takes time, and why should their time be more valuable than ours? Just wondering.... John > Everyone has time to read documentation.
