Thanks.  The syntax is OK according to apachectl.  I set:
ServerName spyder.condonia.org
User webuser
Group webgroup
DocumentRoot /web/site.burps/htdocs

This URL contains the same HTML code that I'm working with:
http://www.eskimo.com/~tomc/BURPS.html
so it looks pretty clean as far as HTML goes.  I do not have 
an index.html doc in that directory.

Having made these changes to apache.conf I restarted apache, 
then tried again.  I get:
******************************************************
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /BURPS.html on this 
server.
---------------------------------------
Apache/1.3.27 Server at spyder.condonia.org Port 80

******************************************************
This happens when I access it either through the name or the 
IP.  I checked, and changed all of the /web directories and 
files to be owned by webuser:webgroup.  No effect.  I know 
better than to leave it that way, and will be changing it 
back momentarily.  The config file has no "Allow" or "Deny" 
in any combination of cases.

Next step?
