	still checking, but seem to.  i'll check my /var/log/httpd/* files next.
	That excuse was my best SWAG, and nothing more.  sometimes, reinitializing
	everything, the OS turns out to be smarter than the rest of us...

	where do i check, glen?  my favoite place to grep around is /var/logs,
	and the httpd-error.log has some potentially serious [warn]ing messages,
	but i'm not familiar with apache22.  until my network began falling apart
	in dec, 2007, i was happy as a clam with apache13.  jon horne installed 
	22 and things just-worked.  

	can you or anybody else make sense of any of this::

	i dont think it is Urgent that this is fixed instantly-if-not-sooner
	but if time, once some network wizard can drop by, sure...

	oh, man, same here; and i was doing this stuff on my own until november,
	'07....   

	i'm adding a clue to my ~/.HowTo file.   if httpd stuff w/ virt dirs fail:
	REBOOT.
