Alexander Dalloz pointed me right to the answer but I was too much of a brick to catch the hint! The problem was/is in Apache Order Deny,Allow We had it set to Deny from all then: Allow from 127.0.0.0 then: Allow from 10.0.0.0/24 but nothing public. the way I have it now does not seem right to me as it's too wide open but for right now testing I just made it: Allow from all and did a apachectl graceful ....had someone try it and weeeeee it worked! now, before I move on to some of the other problems I have to get lots smarter on Order Deny,Allow. Certainly there should be a better way than Allow from all! thx John
