what I don't get is that there is an architecture for handling errors in a custom fashion by pointing to an error file. A placeholder file is installed by default. Just if you put anything in that file, the server crashes. Is that a bug in the server, or was Bill Conlon's code somehow a wrong approach? _________________________
