Peter,

Thanks for the reply.  But what about all the httpd.conf, mod_perl, and 
TT stuff I have to do prior to installing Maypole?

I mean, isn't there stuff I've got to put into my httpd.conf for 
Maypole?  Am I supposed to use just that generic stuff that I've found 
in the TT install directions for what to put into my httpd.conf

Thanks
Jay
