Okay, I am at a complete loss. I made all of the recommendations posted and determined the following; 1) Apache is running and can serve its default page from http://localhost 2) All file system permissions are set correctly. 3) It appears that, maybe, something in the global settings is overriding setting in the virtual server. Here is the Virtual Server lines from httpd2.conf; NameVirtualHost 192.168.101.101 <VirtualHost 192.168.101.101> DocumentRoot /var/www/html/ddd ServerName "www.domainname.com:80" ServerAlias "domainname.com" ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/ddd_error_log TransferLog /var/log/httpd/ddd_access_log <Directory "/var/www/html/ddd"> Options Indexes order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost> ~~~~ Here is the error message when to page is visited; You don't have permission to access / on this server. and... You don't have permission to access /index.html on this server ~~~~ >From the error log; [Fri Oct 03 11:26:29 2003] [crit] [client 192.168.101.201] (13)Permission denied: /var/www/html/cci/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable ~~~~ >From the access log; 192.168.101.201 - - [03/Oct/2003:11:25:16 -0700] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 403 410 192.168.101.201 - - [03/Oct/2003:11:26:29 -0700] "GET /index.html HTTP/1.1" 403 420 ~~~~ Many thanks for all of your responses.

No .htaccess is needed unless you're trying to password protect a directory. You either need to create/add an 'index.html' file in your document root directory, or you need to add the word 'Indexes' to the options of your vhost.... <VirtualHost *> ServerName your.server.name ServerAlias if.alias.exists ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /path/to/cgi-bin/ ServerAdmin admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx DocumentRoot /your/document/root ErrorLog logs/error_log_name CustomLog logs/access_log_name common <Directory "/your/document/root"> Options Indexes </Directory> </VirtualHost> -- By-Tor.com It's all about the Rush http://www.by-tor.com -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
