Httpd and what else? ---- First likely problem is execute bit... ls -l /var/www/html - if execute bit isn't set for all users... try chmod a+x /var/www/html/* otherwise... httpd is all you need for sure to access a file called index.html or index.php in /var/www/html Evidently, you have mucked up the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file to the point that the default isn't working. Assuming that you started editing away without retaining the original config file in unaltered form, I would suggest that you rm /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, re-install httpd-2.0.4? with the replacefiles option command to reload the default conf file, restart httpd and it should work. i.e. rm /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf rpm -ivh --replacefiles httpd-2.0.40-11.7 #note - version of httpd I listed above is from RH 8.0 - I have replaced shrike with fedora so that isn't gonna help. you can figure out which version of httpd you have by typing rpm -qa|grep httpd - that is the one you either have to download from updates.redhat.com or reinstall from cd if you never updated from original install Craig -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
