First of all, thanks to Jamie Neil, Racke, and Johnathan Clark for the 
replies to my post. I really appreciate all of your help.

However, I'm still getting problems in the Admin UI.

Here's what I did:

/etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/Vhosts.conf
----------------------------------
RewriteEngine   On
RewriteRule ^$ /cgi-bin/speedquest/index.html [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^/$ /cgi-bin/speedquest/index.html [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin/.* - [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^/images/.* - [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^/interface/.* - [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^/interchange/.* - [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /cgi-bin/speedquest/$1 [PT,L]


Notes
-----
1) Running Apache 2.0, not sure if that has to do with the problems

2) Cleared out the CGI_URL variable (it's blank now)

3) Don't have https set up for this catalog at this point

4) Not hosting other catalogs at this domain, so not using FULL_URL
    Correct me if this is wrong.

5) Took care of preventing rewrites for a few additional things

6) Using IC 5.0



Problem Description
-------------------
The catalog itself works fine, as does most functions in the Admin UI. 
An example scenario in which I encounter problems is as follows:

1) I log into the Admin UI

2) I go to the Table Manager and select to edit the options table

3) I check an item to delete from the options table

4) I click the "Delete checked" button and OK the confirmation dialog

5) I get the Admin UI login page

6) I log in again and get a page that says
	"Error: flex_select: no database "

7) I go to the options table and the item has not been deleted


Problem Notes
-------------
This isn't just something that happens with the options table either. It 
happens when I try to delete a record from any table using the Table 
Manager (flex_select and family) or the Item Editor.

However, if I have /cgi-bin/speedquest in the CGI_URL variable, 
everything works fine. Even if I still have RewriteEngine on for that 
domain. The rest of the Admin UI works fine. It seems to be just when 
I'm trying to delete a record from a table.

Is there something specific to that part of IC that needs to have a 
RewriteRule specified?

Also, I get nothing in any error logs when this is attempted.

I hope someone can help.

Thanks again,
Tom
