Hi Damian
I must admit, not adding my distro was a slip by me, I normally add as much
info as possible when I have a problem. For the record the distro is etch. As
I mentioned I have not installed\changed anything on the server for for
several months (I think the last time I did anything was a months or so
before etch became stable as I changed my repos from testing to etch).
As for the configuration it is out the box and has worked that way from the
day I set it up. I don't know what casued this morning first problem, it
refused to dispaly any of my web site locally (there are only 3), then after
writing the email to the lug I fiddled with it again and it just started
working. I think the second part of the problem was probably due to me, I
have been working on a new web site all weekend and started with a simple
folder in my home folders which has grown in to a big mess as I tested new
layouts etc etc. Moving a small set of files onto the web server was the
start of my clean up, (I wanted to put them on the server to act as a backup
just incase I deleted the wrong files).
Everything seems to be working now.
Tim
