I started over again this time I made sure of a few things. mv /rc/bin/service/tcp80 /rc/bin/service/!tcp80 cp /rc/bin/service/!tcp80 /usr/www/bin/service/tcp80 rcpu -u www log in with password. mothra http://172.27.0.67 nothing aux/listen -d /usr/www/bin/service tcp mothra http://172.27.0.67 site comes up fine So now I'm explicit in making sure only www runs that service I still ran into the same issues. mkdir -p comments chmod +wx comments mkdir -p sites/cirno/index.md_werc chmod +wx index.md_werc chmod +wx index.md After that everything works!
