Ok...did that.

-----a snippet of the httpd.conf file------
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/home/springpark/cgi-bin/"
        <Directory /home/springpark/public_html/wiki>
        LimitRequestBody 16000000
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

-----end of snippet---


----apache-error.log-----

oh.. .and I *DID* do an apachectl restart before attempting the re-post.
so ..the issue  here is maybe what??  Don't put the directory directive
inside the virtualhost directive?

Any clues?
