Hi,
Well, it IS true that I may need to modify my httpd.conf file. I have other applications running on this web server and it HAS been difficult to separate the functions. HOWEVER, a guest user sees the wiki with all its glorious defaults, BUT a logged in user (front end and of course back end) just sees the message saying (s)he must login and then, of course, I'm having trouble with that "login url" (which is a separate and likely a solvable issue). So the question remains why doesn't the wiki application know that a person is logged in? And why can a non-logged in user see the wiki, but not a logged-in user.
