if I point my web browser at the admin.domain.name I have set up in the
httpd.conf fiile then I get a page Not Found error. if I use
admin.domain.name/midgard-root.php3 then I get a login screen which blows me
out with internal server error. I have updated the host table as instructed
with the admin.domain.com. I am logging in with admin / password as
instructed.
any idea's?
