A more comfortable way to test your webserver from your commandline is with the curl or wget command (every linux distribution has them, i prefer curl) So do for example: curl http://localhost or wget http://localhost on the machine where your apache is running. >From your earlier posts I get that apache runs, but that the webserver doesn answer connection attempts. That is probably a firewall issue. Redhat Linux comes with it's own firewall, and it is probably this what is blocking you. You need to enable port 80. I don't have a RH machine available right now to test this, so you'll have to look this up yourself in the documentation. Krist -- krist.vanbesien@xxxxxxxxx krist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Bremgarten b.
