APache does its thing correctly. Use the Servername Directive in your VirtualHost section: <VirtualHost test.com> ServerName test.com </VirtualHost> Your mileage might vary, but it's supposed to translate everything (www.test.com, etc) back to "test.com". You might also want to use the "UseCanonicalName on" directive. FrontPage is a program created by Vermeer Technologies Inc (_vti), aquired by Microsoft, ported by RTR software to run on top of Apache... It seems no-one can/will support it, unless it's on IIS. =( Jean-Michel Dault [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Here's the response I got from M$'s "tech support": > > > Your Operating System Linux-Mandrake 7.1 is not a platform we support. > > Therefore, we am not going to be able to provide support on this issue. > > > > That having been said, I do have a few comments and ideas for you. > > > > 1.
