The fact that you were unable to figure it out and did not offer any indication that you even made any attempts at figuring it out suggests that you have done little if any reading on how to use the directives in question and are merely looking for someone else to do your work. There's been a lot of this going on lately on this list and---as has been pointed out by another poster---those of us participating in this list are essentially volunteers and have more important/interesting things to do than solve trivial problems for slackers. In other words, RTFM. <flame off> If you did in fact attempt to solve the problem yourself, then I apologize: you'll get better results and more respect when you post details on what you've already tried and specifically how its not working the way you expect it to. -Brian -- Feel free to contact me using PGP Encryption: Key Id: 0x3AA70848 Available from: http://keys.gnupg.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
