Re: PATH used by www user

2009-01-19 Thread Andy Smith
Hi Frank, thanks a lot for looking into it. Yes one server is an older FreeBSD 6.1, the other 7.0 so they certainly aren't identical servers. But they do have same version of apache (2.2.9) and same version of the perl script, and as far as I can tell same config for default PATH etc.
