Yes. Let share our discussion so that other user can also know how to
solve
it.

My 2 experiemental web servers only have 1 ethernet NIC except the local
loopback.
For the backhand handler, I can only see the logo only. The column
header
did not display at all.

How about the handler location ?
You told me before that if I add backhand handler in Virtual host, it

Would you mind to sent one of your httpd.conf for me ? I want to read it
