    Hello, everyone:

    Since my work still requires to use Windows, I am trying to use Fedora to
    edit my website so I get some more exposure to it on the desktop rather
    than just as a remote server. The purpose here is to set up a
    self-contained environment where Apache, MySQL, etc. are all running
    locally such that I can edit the site and actively test it without having
    to be on the network.

    Although I can configure httpd.conf by hand, I am deliberately sticking
    with the redhat-config-httpd tool so that I can test it and provide
    feedback. Having said that, this is the procedure I have followed with no
    joy so far; I would appreciate any comments or suggestions as to what I may
    have done wrong:

             1. Set up Apache to listen only on 127.0.0.1 port 80. (Possible
    bug: display shows "127.0.0.180" instead of "127.0.0.1:80", but httpd.conf
    is correctly written).

             2. Set up a line saying
    "127.0.0.1 simpaticus.localdomain simpaticus" in /etc/hosts.

             3. Verified that /etc/host.conf says "order hosts, dns" and
    verified that there is no DNS server running on this machine.

             4. Set up a name virtual host in redhat-config-httpd pointing to
    /home/rpaiz/www.simpaticus.com. I can provide details, but honestly don't
    see where something could possibly be misconfigured. The named vhost is
    "simpaticus".

    Based on my past experience with Apache, this really ought to be a
    no-brainer, but then again perhaps the brain is off. Entering "simpaticus"
    or "simpaticus.localdomain" in the browser URL window always leads to a
    "Forbidden: You do not have permission to see / on this machine" error. All
    file permissions are set to 644 and directories are set to 755, with owner
    rpaiz.rpaiz.

    Ideas? Comments? Suggestions? Dohs?
