just wanted to post the url for this webserver tutorial. i thought if those of you who know about such things think it's a good page, then it would be a good resource to point people to, if they need it.

Sorry but I hate these tutorials that make things *waaaaay* too hard. You don't have to do any of that with Red Hat. All of that stuff is in RPMs and if you check the boxes at install time you are all finished. If you don't check the boxes at install time just install the RPMs from the installation CD after the fact. Then just put your content in /var/www/html and CGI scripts in /var/www/cgi-bin and that's pretty much it. Of course you can customize the configuration all you want and the configuration files are all well documented. But at that point it's fairly distro non-specific.
