Bob,

   Yes, I use slackpkg and sbopkg for upgrades. It's possible that I
overwrote httpd.conf, but I have backup copies httpd.conf-14.1 and
httpd.conf.orig. Copied each of them to httpd.conf trying to find a
difference (diff found none, either). Very strange.

   Now the problem is accessing the financial software. I'll post that in a
new thread.

Thanks,

Rich
