Mandrake puts Apache's default root in /var/www/html, and I have it symlinked on one system to /home/apache, to make it easier to backup/preserve-across-update the files, so I gather that I've come around to Red Hat's way of thinking without realizing it ... :) -- Bill Mullen 1:58pm, 2002-07-26 ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
