Well, it seems now that *I'm* the person who has access to the server.

Our server is a RAQ3 (located at a remote location from work). According to the MasterPreInstallationTester.cgi results, the server software is Apache/1.3.6(Unix) PHP/4.3.1 mod_perl/1.21 mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.2b

I was given the password today to access site administration for the Cobalt server, but I didn't see how I can access the Apache software from there, where I need to make the changes to the <directory> section. Also I'm guessing from the link I went to (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/auth.html ) that it might involve telnet, but I'm not sure. I've never done that and the Cobalt server manual I downloaded at work indicates that someone attempting that should be an advanced user.

Now that I have to learn what to do to make these changes, I have to make sense of how the cobalt server and apache software interact and how I can manage them. As you can tell, I'm clueless. I'll download the manuals or whatever information I can find. But I'm very much in the dark since I don't understand how they work together and how to access the Apache software if that's what I need to do. Can someone point me in the right direction? I need to learn a lot in a very short amount of time.

Thanks in advance for any direction or advice...
