Yes, I've done some editing of that file, though not in the way you've 
specified below.

I've tried editing that file in the way suggested, then restarted Apache. 
But I still get the same timeout. I'm probably doing something wrong that 
is very basic--just can't determine at the moment what that might be. One 
of the ways I edited this file previously was to enter the directory path 
for my MythWeb installation (under /var/www/localhost/htdocs). Apart from 
that, I'm pretty sure the file is "stock." It seems odd to me that the 
path would be something like you've specified above, i.e., under a system 
directory rather than under /var. But that's the only potential 
misconfiguration I could point to thus far.
