You can use a patched easy_e17 that's in my github ( https://github.com/ppurka/easy_e17 ) that avoids this issue of stale files. I was bitten by stale files in the installation long ago, and since then I use this patched version. Never had a failure since then, and I update weekly. Hopefully these patches get integrated into upstream easy_e17. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
