Hi Lynette,

I believe disabling the unique_id_module will fix this.

Comment out the following lines in httpd.conf

<snip>

LoadModule unique_id_module   libexec/apache/mod_unique_id.so
AddModule mod_unique_id.c

</snip>

And run "apachectl restart".

More information on this module is available here.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_unique_id.html

Hope this helps.

David
