Hi Jim,

I tried that, and got no style sheet, so I presumed that static files 
were not being served. However, you are right. It works.

However, the error long in FireFox is telling me....

Error: The stylesheet http://www.site.com/ppg/css/style.css was not 
loaded because its MIME type, "text/html", is not "text/css".
Source File: http://www.site.com/ppg/
Line: 0

I've checked /etc/nginx/mine-types, and it claims type text/css  for css 
files, and the default-type is application/octet-stream.

So now I'm really confused.

Ian

p.s IE 6.0 is not so fussy. It simply leaves out some of the images :(
