I apologize for my lack of understanding. Next time I will give version and platform along with the full configuration in the future. To answer you question about the Weblogic stuff. The mod_wl_22.so file came from my Weblogic installation. It is there proxy file. Also the Location information for Weblogic came from them too. The only reason I have the IP address and port list is that I am running two different sites on this box. They are both running on the same IP but on different ports. I have each site running as a Windows service so I can easily stop and restart the site. I agree with you on the space in folders. I do not like them either, but I just went with the defaults. Adding the new Location with the SetHandler to none worked. Not really sure where I got the test. Most likely I misunderstood some information I read. So, if I set the three locations /tpg, /Softwaredownloads and /focis to none on the SetHandlers, do you think that might fix it?
