Right.

Right, I'll probably explore that a bit later. Right now, one repository is
all I need. :)

AHA! You, sir, are a genius. Okay, apparently what happened is that when I
installed RH9 I told it I didn't want a web server, so I assumed (dopey me)
that it wouldn't install one. However, what it apparently did was to install
it but not actually turn it on (how thoughtful of it!). Anyways, you have
hit the problem on the head quite exactly: I have Apache 2.0.40 (split
between /usr/sbin and /etc/httpd) and Apache 2.0.48 (installed in
/usr/local/apache2).

Excellent. That takes care of it (well, after some permission fiddling).
Now I just need to ditch the older Apache and change my init.d script to
call the new one.

Thanx for the quick response.
