this from a friend i used to work with at Critical Path in SF (he works
for an apache consulting firm now).
turns out it was a stupid copy/paste error, as some '<' characters got
pasted into index.shtml as '<'
for example, <html> was showing up as <html>
thought you folks would be interested in seeing his troubleshooting
techniques.

talking directly to the webserver is a good way to debug stuff. because
sometimes browsers are doing wacky things you cant see. here's what i
did:
[john at doom:~] telnet leroy.secretbonus.com 80
Trying 63.193.249.148...
Connected to leroy.secretbonus.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET / HTTP/1.0
Host: leroy.secretbonus.com
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2002 22:11:37 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.12 (Unix)
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html
<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">
blah blah blah...
so if you just construct a request by hand and send it in to the server,
you will get the server output. just telnet to the port apache is
listening on and here is a simple request
GET / HTTP/1.0<enter>
Host: localhost<enter>
<enter>
when you hit that last enter on the blank line, the server will give you
the response headers and the content. pretty cool.. -j
