Hi All,

ok, problem has been partitially solved. Changing this,

<Directory "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs">

to this

<Directory "/var/www/html">

now gives me access, but, in this form,

  Index of /base-1.1

Icon  Name <http://localhost/base-1.1/?C=N;O=D>                    Last modified <http://localhost/base-1.1/?C=M;O=A>      Size <http://localhost/base-1.1/?C=S;O=A>  Description <http://localhost/base-1.1/?C=D;O=A>
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[DIR] Parent Directory <http://localhost/>                             -   
[DIR] admin/ <http://localhost/base-1.1/admin/>                  04-Apr-2005 05:27    -   
[   ] base_ag_common.php <http://localhost/base-1.1/base_ag_common.php>      04-Apr-2005 05:26  3.5K  

which, I guess, is not too good. What have I done wrong here..?
And, could someone explain the reason why changing what I did allowed access. Cheers.

Mark Sargent.
