Thanks for the suggestion. I've now changed httpd.conf to say "User
nobody, Group nogroup" as you suggested and it works fine. I was a bit
reluctant to do this at first because it said "User nobody, Group #-1"
and I wasn't sure which piece of code was causing the problem. It must
have been the "#-1", but I'm not quite what it meant.
Many thanks for your help
Best wishes,
Chris
