With to ordinary setup this leads to an "command not in docroot" error. >How-To-Repeat: Try a setup as above >Fix: There are two possibilities which both lead to reduced security: 1. Set the DOCROOT to the least common path (which may be /, i.e. effectivly disables this check) 2. (What I did) Compare the commandpath to the DOCUMENT_ROOT enviroment variable as given by apache. (May be forged easily and effectivly disables this check.) >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
