<DIV>Thanks Richie, but I'm still stuck.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Yes I've been using <A href="http://localhst:8880">http://localhst:8880</A>. And I've been using the same shortcuts, etc. for many months without trouble, until a week ago.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Following your suggestion, I tried <A href="http://127.0.0.1:8880">http://127.0.0.1:8880</A> to no avail. Again, I get the HTTP error 500 internal server error message.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
