Problem Solved. Solution is explained below for those who are interested, thanks to Joey, Ross, Kim and finally Andrew, who gave me the configuration tip, for their support.

The solution was that the default server for installation is Horizon and not rr-n1-tor. Andrew McCallum brought that out in his first reseller-support email. Basically all that I had to do was to generate a new key in horizon and I seem to be in business. I wasn't reading the xml file as well as I should have so really it was more a pilot error that anything else. I didn't see that documented anywhere but that doesn't mean that it isn't expecially considering that I didn't pick up the <hostname>horizon.opensrs.net</hostname> in my own xml configuration. Net result, 5 minutes to fix after Andrew's email, but after far too many emails to too many places took a complete day. Maybe next time I should just follow the defined procedures and email reseller-support but then no one would be able to benefit from my ignorance. ;) Have a great weekend all and apologies for so much email, ed P.S. I also went to the new version without zend, for now, and haven't seen any problems. _______________________________________________ domains-gen mailing list [email protected] http://discuss.tucows.com/mailman/listinfo/domains-gen
