	ah, good point!  hadn't thought of checing the error log.

	Below is the entry from 11june08.  (10.47.0.250 == my jail,
	aristotle.) what to i add to httpd.conf?  sorry, but
	i'veforgotten if i needed to had to set up my three phpbb
	forms as "virtual pages" {or whatever} ; also there are 
	diffs between apacche13 and apache22.   my lan volunteer set
	up apache22 when my network collapsed lastt winter and i 
	did not watch.

	Hm. The virtual sites have been moved to the apache22 subdir
	./Includes/httpd-local.conf.
