Well, I’m trying to get my first deploy up. I’m developing using 1-  
click against a legacy (SQL Server) database. Deployment is to RHEL  
5.

I am following the deployment recipes in the book. In particular, I  
copied (with necessary changes) the stuff for http.conf. I’m getting  
permission denied errors, and /var/log/httpd/error\_log has this to  
say:

[Thu Feb 14 14:14:11 2008] [warn] proxy: No protocol handler was valid  
for the URL /subproject. If you are using a DSO version of mod\_proxy,  
make sure the proxy submodules are included in the configuration using  
LoadModule.

Everything else looks pretty quiet and/or expected. The curl test in  
the book passes. The / default page is still in place, and renders no  
problems.
