Well, let's start with the basics...
In httpd.conf (or mod_perl.conf or wherever) you have... PerlSetVar AFS_AdminDBI_SecretKeyFile /path/to/your/keyfile right? From the error you describe it sounds like you don't have this variable declared correctly. -Fran > my @keyfile_vars = grep { > $_ =~ /DBI_SecretKeyFile$/ > } keys %{ Apache->server->dir_config() }; > > I inserted a debug statement right after this to see what was being placed > into this list. Nothing.
