Thanks for all replies. Much appreciated. I can also confirm v7.0.9 has fixed the localhost resolution problem. The 3 htaccess files have the changes mentioned by Ric. I did notice that when starting Uniform Server v7.0.9 I got this Security Alert: IP ADDRESS is not 127.0.0.1, but '::1'. Note: HTTP_REFERER is 'localhost'. To disable this warning set $unisecure to 0 in: /home/admin/www/includes/config.inc.php I followed the instruction, modifed the config.inc.php file and everything is fine now. I'm comfortable making this change as I only use Unifrom Server locally before putting my web pages up to a remote host. However, I wonder what the security implications would be if I was allowing external access? BobS - Thanks for taking the time to reply with some pointers to try. For info, I did ping localhost on my PC and received the following: C:\>ping localhost Pinging AsusQuad [::1] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from ::1: time<1ms Reply from ::1: time<1ms Reply from ::1: time<1ms Reply from ::1: time<1ms Ping statistics for ::1: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms Regards, Peter
