Atually I did download it. And tried it out, the RPM works better than
the one thatis available for download. But still, the same problem
persists. I can get the server running, but I cannot connect to it from
the web. I just get the "unavailable" page after about 30 seconds or
so. Could you be so kind as to give me step by step instructions? I am
building the sample page. So that should make it a little easier to
explain I hope. Anyhow, please help me, I am a moron and need to read a
FAQ befor I wipe, so you know what you are dealing with. Thanks....
