Just to say I finally attended to this matter better today as it
became pressing. Yes, I had to turn php on, you were right.
Thanks for the clues. In the config file.

And I had to manually stick in the includes I had on the Powermac
into the MB's /Library/WebServer/Documents, I had to alter a few
things in the normally invisible /private/etc/httpd/httpd.conf
(that can be opened in BBEdit under File/Open Hidden) with Apache
manual in hand to remind me.

And now all is working fine with website files in users Sites
folder.

I am starting to get a bit worried that conducting my affairs on
Tiger on a desktop and latest SL on a laptop! Could become a bit
complicated and maybe I better bite a further bullet and get a
proper Intel Desktop. I will have to ask you all one day what
might be the simplest way of keeping a desktop and a laptop (used
at different times) *coordinated* (to be further defined when the
time comes.)
