Thanks to the following for their speedy response! Tim Evans Luc I. Suryo Colin Haffenden Colin Haffenden identified the problem as incorrect permissions on the "/" (root) directory. This solved the problems. One note: I did the OS setup and a Sun Systems Engineer configured the application. In setting up the application, the Sun SE changed the permissions to 700 on the "/" (root) directory. Returning the permissions to 755 solved the problem. (As evidenced by the question, I didn't the answer and was looking in the wrong direction.) Thank you!
