Bob,

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.  Cell phone battery gave out
listening to your message and I was having a late dinner with my g/f.
Anyways...

Ah... you copied over dev to your public_html!

Basically dev.linuxkb.org has a file .htaccess in it's root dir which
controls authentication and authorization.  The catch is that the
statements in it requre mod_perl configuration statements in the
httpd.conf.  Basically the dev, tst, www trees have this support, but the
vodka/~<username> doesn't.

If you're looking for a place to try things without having to bother with
CVS, the place to do this is on play.linuxkb.org

/home/http/prepub/play/html

This is our play pen where you can kill, mame, and destroy files without
bothering with CVS.  

***
If you use your public_html dir for development things will not work!
***

Basically the PHP code grabs the authentication from the environment
variables... if you don't do the authentication, there aren't any
variables for it to use.

Anyways I got rid of the .htaccess file for you Bob and that cleared up
the error.

Happy coding.

-Aaron
