Can you double check all the Options settings in your files? That includes httpd.conf, access.conf and srm.conf. If you're still having problems then please mail your config files.

Thanks for the reply. I am out of the office this week for training, but will try to do a minimal clean install. I have been through the files pretty thoroughly and am beginning to wonder if the problem is related to HP-UX 10.10, as a similar issue has been kicked out the perl 5 porters regarding that particular O/S version...

I don't recall getting any other email about the problem. Dean >Unformatted:
