Very Computer

I am new to setting up UNIX HTTP servers, so please forgive any obvious
ignorance on my part. I have a problem that I can't seem to solve with
the documentation available, and hope that one of you can give me a few
things to try.

I set up the server on a less-used SGI workstation (running IRIX 4.0.5).
[As a sidebar, I have installed each of the 3 UNIX servers currently
available (CERN, NCSA 1.5a, Apache) and the following problem happened
when each was acting as the HTTP server.] When running a server, I set it
up as an inetd daemon. The problem occurs after the server is running and
I point to it the site with netscape -- I get the error "Document
contains no data" (each server gave the same result). This is obviously a
fundamental problem -- too bad the error message isn't more informative.
I do have a test document in my DocumentRoot, and if I point to it
explitictly I get the same message. Directory indexing doesn't work as
expected. Baffling to me -- hope its obvious to you. Perhaps its a
permissions problem on the server system?

Any suggestions (please)?

Thanks very much.
