Thanks very much for your help on this! I got things up and running, and was able to make the setup scalable as I add new sites. A minor change to the log file parameters in httpd.conf per the instructions here http://www.dotvoid.com/view.php?id=29 and we were up and running Once I finished, I looked back over what I'd done and realized that the .rpm file made things almost too easy, I had been looking all over the place for a walk-through for what I assumed was a terribly complex mess. thanks again, Ron Jones Alpharetta, GA
