Re: Need help on installation

Hi Robert,
You hit the nail right on the head. After doing the strace,
and getting the results you expected,
I then check my httpd.conf file. sure enought the directive
"Port" had 8080. I change it to 80 and things are looking
up. I want to thank everyone for there input.
later.
