Re: CSS file not being found

Excellent!

Those <Directory> directives have many uses - as Kevin said, permissions 
can be set there. In the default config that is created by the Admin 
browser interface, there is a <directory> directive that blocks all 
access to the root of the IFS. There's another that gives full access to 
the document root, which makes sense. And for your CGI program, there 
should be another that has the path name of the library where your CGI 
programs are.

You can find lots of help in the Admin browser interface - all those 
question marks next to almost every attribute. And any Apache 
documentation - doesn't have to be for IBM i - will give you what you 
want to know.

I believe there are more advanced uses for <directory> entries - things 
like having multiple ports set up in one httpd.conf file - but I've 
never done it, and might easily be wrong!

Cheers
Vern
