Ok on some more info on this problem, I can bring up the page if i'm logged in from my account on the suse box an running xwin an then browse to the page with konqueror an it will open the page up. so what do i need to do to make it view from outside the suse box. thanks to anyone on the list that will point out my error in permissions. jack Hi Robert, thanks for the replies the other day on the apache help message. I had to do a complete install from scratch to get apache working like you did. it works here at work but not at home so I guess another install there. another question now do you know what I need to do to make say /home/jack/public_html readable now . i have gone an done a chmod o+x /home/jack an also chmod o+r /home/jack/public_html an still can not pull the page there from a windows machine. I can enter the ip address of the suse box an get the default suse test info page. Am I doing something wrong here or what. I had this working once in the past an now I forgot what I did to make it work. thanks for any info. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq and the archives at http://lists.suse.com jack malone Network Administrator EAST TEXAS LIGHTHOUSE FOR THE BLIND dba HORIZON INDUSTRIES 903-595-3444 http://www.horizonind.com
