Huh? Guys ... I am getting lost. on my OSX box apache runs as the user www any cgi's that were launched via urls would also be run as the user www > Or are their some subtle differences?

An applet gets loaded with a 'documentBase'. This is the directory where the applet was loaded from. I suppose that it is possible that the Java Plugin may be doing something different with the document base. *** 15 minutes later *** I did some testing. I wrote some simple test pages as .html files and as .pl cgi scripts. They fetch a molecule from another directory ... either as a straight file or through a cgi script. All combinations work fine for me. Files are attached. You need to supply your Jmol.js and JmolApplet*.jar files. There are hidden .htaccess files in each of the directories. I configured apache to 'AllowOverride Options' so that it would allow me to configure +ExecCGI in specific directories using .htaccess My configuration was: server: apache on linux client: safari on osx client: IE + MSFT JVM on Win32 client: Mozilla + Java Plug-in on Win32 Rich, review this stuff and let me know if you are able to make any headway.
