You could give it a try though. What you may want to do is setup a test server on a different port and start with a base config with no virtualhosts, which may work, then start adding things until it breaks. > > If this matters, the affected directory is part of our main server/host > and is part of its DocumentRoot. My best guess would be that you think it is a part of the main server, but Apache thinks something different. Go through each virtual host, and verify that it has a unique IP address that is different from the main server. It may be easiest for you to send the appropriate (ie. virtualhost, a bit of the main stuff) parts of your config files for us to look at. This is just a quick comment so that you can see if you can figure it out before I get time to go into more depth. > > Dean...K... > > > > > Author: Marc Slemko > > > > No, after your previous response it is no longer necessary.
