I understand that setting up/monitoring a server is not a birth gift, and I hope I haven't left that impression. If so, I apologize.

You're a genius! You're the expert with the answer! To sum up: I changed my DNS settings with my domain registrar to include "beta." at the front of my domain name, so that I can browse to either sitename.org or beta.sitename.org. I made a couple of config changes to the /etc/wordpress and /etc/apache2/sites-* dirs (documented earlier in this thread). I went to sitename.org/wp-admin/options-general.php and added "beta." to the Wordpress URL and the site URL fields. I added a link to index.html pointing to beta.sitename.org/index.php. Now I can browse to index.html, and then click on the link to go to the beta site. Thanks to you, and to all who responded! -- Kent West <")))>< Westing Peacefully - http://kentwest.blogspot.com
