/usr/local/www/data exists but is a symlink to /usr/local/share/doc/apache:

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root    wheel      27 Sep 13  2000 data ->
/usr/local/share/doc/apache

It is this way as my first install was from the ports and that's how the
port created the layout.  With my custom compile, I copied the
FreeBSD.layout file from the ports and used it, trying to keep things the
same.

Anyway, ownership of the link was root:wheel.  I changed to owner of the
link by using the following command:

chown -h nobody:nogroup /usr/local/www/data

However, I still get the same error in my fpexec log:

 [2001-04-09 12:04:29]: uid: (nobody/nobody) gid: (nogroup/nogroup) cmd:
/_vti_bin/shtml.exe
[2001-04-09 12:04:29]: cannot stat directory: (/usr/local/www/data)

Any other ideas?  I am new to the *nix world so please don't assume that
I've done the obvious.

Thanks,

Drew
