Actually, the problems were more subtle than that.

After looking at the http request log, apparently, IE looks for a file
called favicon.ico and, if not found, considers the entire request a "404
file not found".  So, I just created a file called favicon.ico and made it
world-readable and that fixed that problem.

The second problem was that some browsers (i.e., not Firefox) are more
picky about redirects and, because I had the wrong domain name in the meta
redirect in index.html , it was redirecting to an unknown domain name and
that was considered a "404".

I don't know why these problems didn't crop up last time.
