<div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000">Yes that is what was meant, thanks for elaborating Paul.<br><br>Jayanta, have you tried just accessing a simple /index.html in your root web directory to make sure your apache user can access it? I normally use Redhat or Fedora and keep the default directory at /var/www/html for the web root and the file Xymon provided placed as Paul mentions sorts out allowing apache access to the subdirectories which in my case are installed under /usr/local which apache has read on.<br>
