Thanks for your help Emile, I've got the site working now.
What would you say is the minimum specification for Midgard/Asgard?
Don't laugh but I am currently running it on a P100? Although as I
said it worked ok with the old /admin site.

Correct on both accounts.

No, asgard is pretty heavy. There's a new preparser in the works (it's
almost ready to be tested -- a few days I'd say) which should speed
things up a bit. Nadmin (available from www.hklc.com) also does
sitegroups.

Only root can create new host records.

Create sitegroup as root (username 'admin' in the default install).
Create host record as root
Logout and log back in as admin!new_sitegroup
proceed as above
If non-root users could create host records, they could 'take over'
other sites. For example, you create a site called 'www.example.com',
and you have a webmail running under 'www.example.com/webmail'. If I
were to create a host record with name 'www.example.com' and prefix
'/webmail', I'd be getting your visitors.
