Thanks, Sam (and thanks also to JAB, Brian, and Terry :-) -- I _am_ trying to run it under SSL, but I'm puzzled that it was okay a day ago under the same Apache 2 settings on RH 9, etc., but is not okay now that folks have started sending browser requests to the site. That is, as far as I'm aware, everything is the same now as it was then, only additional real-time requests are being made of Apache now but weren't before. Most of those are for a Perl-based CGI 'forum' script (under mod_perl). Is it possible the error message is being triggered by something else, signifying something other than what it says...? -- -- Jeff -- <http://www.wellnow.com> "There's nothing left in the world to prove.
