I'd appreciate it if anyone who knew the diffs between apache 1.3 and 2.x could add to this. I have close to your httpd.conf entry excep that I have localhost instead of sage.thought.org; that may explain something. The trouble I was having over the weekend, still is happening. When I point my broswer athe the JWChat stuff, I get popups that announce their abortion. One is: "JID is missing...\nAborting". Thought I'd resolved this, but not: rats! Thanks for your examples; I'll add your "RewriteRule...." stuff and see if "the Fates" smile ...... gary > > Jason > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
