Well I only use Xitami for testing things offline. I have two websites ie
Domain names so I set up one on

127.0.0.2 praying.cfg

and the other

127.0.0.3 hinchliffe.cfg

I am using the Virtual Hosts page to do this. Is this not the correct way
of doing things?

I solved my problem thanks to your help anyway. Once I turned of the
(un)helpful messages I got

Internal error: your request was unsuccessful 
Cannot create CGI process - program not found

So I knew I had not got Perl and PHP installed properly and now I am up and
running find again. Thanks a lot.

Jon
