I think I solved my own problem. I have been installing apache server
2.1.0.55 and I haven't gotten my stuff to work. One main reason is
because /webapps/ was missing from the install.

I then try installing Apache Tomcat 5. That seems to do the trick.
However, I'm not quite sure what the difference is between the two. I
guess Tomcat is an add on to apache that allows for Java scripts and
servlets. I don't know, I just tried it on whim last night and it
worked. Will have to read up on it later.

Anyways, thanks for listening to me complain!
