He complains now that not only does http://littlestoreonline.com/ not show
http://littlestoreonline.com/storefront.html (which it is from my browser), but
also that his old site http://refugeeapostolate.com/ is not working now --
trying to get to this URL ends up at the first one, which should be a separate
site.

I created a separate dir olm-scripts at the same level as the general cgi-bin
dir, just to keep things separate from anything that's already on this machine.

I tried to convince the guy who owns this server that he might be better served
by a regular isp/vhost setup - saving him money, time, and headaches in the
future. He doesn't see the point in this apparently, as long as he can get
volunteers like me to help him out ;-)

Now I have no response at all.
I suggest you first sort out the connection with your provider,
then focus on which VHost should serve what.
