Rick - I still get the Alert box nonsense with www.knechthome.com in it. 
I think this is the real issue. Why does Apache look at my hosts file 
and choose to use this info?

OK, so the first question that came up was which apache config file? I 
find two directories

/etc/apache/conf
/etc/apache2/conf/

The second has an apache2.conf file in which I placed your edits at the end:

Alias /files "/mnt/data/sessions"


     <Directory "/mnt/data/sessions">
             Options Indexes FollowSymlinks MultiViews
             AllowOverride None
             Order allow,deny
             Allow from all
     </Directory>

Is this the right file?

Did this. /var/log/apache2/error_log shows the restart.

/var/log/apache2/access_log shows me going to the top page

However, when I try to access the files page it shows it failing with a 
301 error I think.

301 == "Moved Permanently"?
