Here is a wonderful example summing up pretty much waht's wrong: <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Deny from all </Directory> AllowOverride None, is yet another wonderful example on itself, as AllowOverride defaults to "All". It should not be necessary to have Listen 80 That should be default, and you should only have to specify a Listen statement, when you want it to be different. Yet another wonderful example is the extra/httpd-default.conf . Half of it is too verbose, setting values which are default anyways: Timeout, keepalive, MaxKeepAliveRequests, AccessFileName, ServerTokens, HostnameLookups. While the other half sets the values to more or less sane defaults: more: KeepAliveTimeout and HostnameLookups; and less: ServerTokens and ServerSignature. Those are only a few of the examples, I hope they clarify in which direction I was heading. So long, Igor -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
