Get the DES libs and recompile Apache with: AUX_LIBS= -ldescrypt Also, the extension installer sets several conf files world writable. I edited the fp_install script as follows: diff fp_install fp_install~ 585c585 < chmod( 0664, "$documentroot/_vti_pvt/httpconf.lck", --- > chmod( 0666, "$documentroot/_vti_pvt/httpconf.lck", 594c594 < chmod( 0775, "$HTTPDCONFDIR/fakeconf$vhsuffix" ); --- > chmod( 0777, "$HTTPDCONFDIR/fakeconf$vhsuffix" ); This may or may not solve a potential security problem but so far I've had no trouble. Notice group is "rwx." All my FP users are in their own groups so don't set 077x if you have generic groups like "users." -Craig -- Orbit Data Systems, Inc.
