Hi Craig, Thanks a lot for replying to my post. I guess part of the configuration lines got cut off in my post. I do have <Directory "/home/manhat/manhat-x.x.x/bin/"> and </Directory> and yes I did change manhat-x.x.x/bin and any other reference to manhat-x.x.x to manhat-3.1.0, which is the present version I have installed. BTW: no "forgiveness" needed, I too have overlooked the obvious. :o) Thanks again,

Between the Scriptalias line and AllowOverride lines I believe you need the following lines <Directory "/home/manhat/manhat-x.x.x/bin/"> and then after Allow from all you need </Directory> This repeats for all of the directories that are being defined. I am also no Apache2 expert as I am still using Apache1.3 but that did jump out at me. Also, and forgive me if I am pointing out the obvious, but you did change the manhat-x.x.x to the actual pathname?
