got cl-http working-sees nothing! ??


Dear helpful cl-http persons:

I have been trying to get the cl-http web server running under Linux for
several days without luck and am hopeful that I can get a quick resolution
on this list. 

The system I have has a Linux 2.1.16 kernel with the low cost Allegro
Common Lisp version 4.3 for Linux.  (Low cost is free.) The cl-http code
is version 60.57.  The steps I took to get it running were: 

copy the code for both the cl-http source and the Allegro code to
a /root/franz/cl-http and /root/franz/cl respectively.  I got the
Allegro CL 4.3 running by following the directions in the
README.first file (steps 1 and 2 including the build/install_lisp
step.)  It works fine.   I then untared the source.tar for the 60.57
code and read the acl/-read-me-.text and followed its directions.
Essentially:
- copy acl/http.script to acl/http
- edit acl/http for my configuration of HTTP FRANZ and DOMAINNAME
  environment variables.
- acl/http -compile
           -build
chmod all dirs under cl-http to 755

edit acl/examples/exports and configuration for my source path
and rebuilt.

IT _runs_ when I run acl/http port=80 BUT I get nothing on a web
browser when I point to my server: http://linuxserver.com:80/

But whatever I put past the last slash, I get nothing back.  I see
no html code anywhere.  I can try /www/cl-http nothing but a
response from cl-http saying:  Not found for URL http://24.196.6.8/xxx
where xxx is what ever I type in and 24.196.6.8 is some IP from
who knows where (not me!).  SO in summary, the cl-http does work
but it does not GET /xxx (I can do log=t and see the GETs).  I 
tried putting a test.html under EVERY subdirectory on the entire
machine and it always comes back with an error.  I am frustrated.
What do I need to edit to get it to work???  Any useful advise
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Thomas
