Proxy when installing Versions 05 and 06

I have more than 6 sites up and running using CMSMS 1.04 and 1.05.  All are on the same server farm so I know this is supposed to work.  When installing on this existing HTML based site i am getting the following error:
"Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /home/install/install.php.

Reason: Max-Forwards has reached zero - proxy loop?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache Server at cpes.net Port 81"

This has not happened before when installing.  Any ideas?

OS is FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE
mysql Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.27
perl, v5.8.3
PHP 4.4.2

edit : sorry, forget question 4°), you have already provided the answer "Server at cpes.net Port 81".

Hello wd4nzx,

1°)Are you the cpes provider or a cpes customer ?
2°)Are you (your browser) inside the cpes building or outside of it ?
3°)Is the server farm inside it or outside of it ?

4°)Do you know where this proxy comes from ? your forward proxy, your server farm's reverse proxy, cpes' inbetween proxy ?
5°)Is this proxy configured explicitely in your browser ?
6°)"supposed to work" is nice, but do your other sites currently still work ?

7°)Where have you found this wonderful nickname ?-)

Thank you.

I am a provider, I lease space on a server farm so I do not operate the serevers.
This means that I am located outside of the server farm.  However, the HELPDESK personell seem to have the same issue.  I have them working on this now as they did not have any reasons they could give me. 
There technically is no PROXY.  The error seems to indicate a DNS problem of sorts. AS it is turning out, all PHP scripts are generating this error if they execute a GET command. 
All of the other sites that I have scattered across this server farm are still working.  No problems.  I am beginning to beleive that this is a problem specific to this shared server and that the helpdesk may be the only crew that can help.  I expect that I will get an answer soon, it has been excalated to a higher level for attention.

The nickname is my amateur radio FCC issued call sign.  Since it is unique, I use it almost everywhere.

Thank you fopr your interest.
