Hi, Yeap, in the conf/httpd.conf, i have:
User snapple Group admin This is the gourp i had in my old apache 1.3 set up. This is my admin user for my machine, and the user i used when isntalling apache2. This is the odd thing, its all the same set up as my old apache, fairly simple stuff - just doesn't work. I am worried its darwin kernal / apache2 compatibility problem - but have been reassured on a few forums that these two do work together and its definitely a problem with my apache2 configuration. Thank you for your help / advice.
