Thanks for the detailed response. Yes, I did try removing the original files except .htaccess and populating the www directory with mine - it didn't work. I had a full web site in the www directory including favicon and index.html. Maybe I hosed something when I first started playing around with it, but I deleted the server and reinstalled and it did the same thing. This was for the previous version 5.6.12. Version 5.6.13 didn't behave the same way with the same set of web pages. I did look through the forums, wiki and other documentation, but didn't find an answer to the problem. I did notice the apache error.log file did have a couple of entries in it that said something to the effect of "can't find index.php"; even though I had an index.html page in the www directory. So it was like it was looking specifically for index.php and nothing else. Like I said, maybe I did something wrong, but I didn't change any coding anywhere. Anyway it's working correctly now, but it was frustrating nevertheless. I went through the entire directory structure and the configuration files for the server, so I learned something from it. I also noticed that redirect.html page, and that it only displays for a fraction of a second and goes away. I never thought about looking at the html code for that page. Good information about the redirect coding on it and for directions to disable the redirect functionality. Anyway, glad it's working and there is a ton of online information that I will be going over to familiarize myself with this server. Thanks again
