Jaque, I intend to document how to tame the two 'subspecies' of Snow Leopard - no, not 'uncia uncia uncia' and 'uncia uncia uncioides' but 'OSX Server' and 'standard' OSX ;-) I'd love to be able to do the same for my Ubuntu subspecies of Linux (would that be 'felis linux ubuntiodes'?) but that

Thanks Devin - I sure could use a copy of your httpd.conf file to do a line-by-line comparison with Guiffy. I now realise that a lot of the conflicting configuration advice is down to the subtle difference between configuring: 1. OSX Snow Leopard Server (the Apple OSX Server product) - which is

Keith, I forgot to mention... In Server Admin I also tick "CGI Execution" under Web > Sites > Options for each site where I want to use irev scripting. I don't know if this is required, but it seemed like it should be on if I'm using the revserver CGI. Related to this I have ticked "cgi_module"

...sorry, you're correct, it's an alias - mea culpa, still learning the jargon as well as the syntax! Just to be clear, are you running a standard Snow Leopard machine as a server or the formal OSX Server product - I'm running the latter and the web services settings are very different to those

Keith, Symlink? Are you sure your CGI-BIN folder is a symlink and not an alias? Check your Apache Error logs for suEXEC violations, you may be facing Apache suEXEC violations... As for your other email, this is plain vanilla snow leopard. I think it creates a conf file for each user in the machi

Thanks Andre. I'm not worried about users' personal sites running on this server as localhost - I'm using Custom Sites, accessible from the internet and managed by Groups. So, my machine's /etc/apache2/users/ folder is empty but httpd.conf set-up is key to supporting all Custom Sites and OSX Wik
