Sorry. We've solved the problem, but for the sake of making
sure no one else runs into it I'll go through the questions and
answer them. The person setting the server up :
1) Named the base machine www.XXX.com and gave it an IP
2) Configured Apache 1.2.4 for the base
3) Configured a few virtual hosts, one of which was www.XXX.com
but with different information except the same IP..
to fix
1) Rename machine to YYY.XXX.com and gave new IP
2) Reboot.

I had created fresh copies of all the .conf files from
a "form" I've used for dozens of other servers. The virtual host was
correct, but the fact that it was also the BASE systems IP/hostname was
probably very wrong.

Tried it both ways, still gave problems.

Yes, but the 1 virtual host was the same as the BASE

If you requested a cgi , it appeared to run ok. If you telnetted to the
port (We have monitoring software that does that) and said "GET
/cgi-bin/monitor.pl"
it would tell you it didn't exist, or run it from the BASEs directory.

Not doing port based, IP based.

This is where you would have caught it.
Sorry to trouble you.
