OK.

The background:
My client has a small business. She has set up an old G4 Cube (450) as her OS X Server and she has a mini and a couple of other PCs.

Her provider is Comcast. She has stated she doesn't want to jump from $49/mo to $160/mo for a static IP.

She's got a Netgear Prosafe a/b/g router. The router is handling DHCP.

The problem:
She wants to have internal-only websites as her development sites, inaccessible to anyone outside of her network. She'd like to be able to address them as: [lauriespets.dev.internal...] or something like that and of course still have full access to the outside internet.

My Solution:
I activated DNS, set up "internal" as a Primary Zone. Matched it to a "machine" (which I am somewhat unsure of the function) and set her machines to use the Cube for DNS.

I went into Web Services->Settings->Sites. And here is where I get into even more trouble...

My Problem:
No matter what I seem to do, no matter how many "sites" I define, I can't get this to work. If I strip out all but a single site, it will give me a page. If I add a site set to a different page, it will give me the same page as before or simply "Page Not Available".

ALSO -- After installing PHP5 and MySQL, if I assign the site to open a php page, I get a blank screen. No code, no error message, no nuttin.

So. Have I screwed up her install? Do I have to completely reinstall OS X Server? Is PHP screwed up? How do I uninstall?

Thanks in advance for ANY help folks can offer...

Scott.
