Hi Stephane,
   Thanks for the reply. Yes, I checked the error log but it was about 
as useful as screen doors on a submarine. Here is the result of every 
time I try to access the page:

[Wed Sep 13 03:59:24 2006] [error] [client 10.10.0.3] (13)Permission 
denied: access to /hobbit/ denied


I already know that my access is denied....I just want to know why. I am 
going through httpd.conf  one line at a time now.

any other input much appreiated


Kevin
