You are a good man, Eric. I prolly shouldn't state this as I'm not 100% certain, but
this is an Apache issue not a RAQ/Qube issue so it should work on either platform.

I put it within the virtual host directives...

copy the modifications you have made into your include file and put the include line
in and your all set. The GUI won't touch your include file and it leaves the include
line intact, as well.

I have never bothered with the .master file. I do always make a copy of httpd.conf
before I open it for edits.

It's good to hear of someone that searches the archives. I wouldn't worry about the
hallowed warranty, because Cobalt support leaves a lot to be desired. Always make
copies before you edit anything and you will be able to go back to the copy that
worked if you happen to nub something up.

BTW, is it freakin' hot down in AL?
