I would recommend looking at this thread: http://markmail.org/message/cwt33ptwqrbwteh5#query:+page:1+mid:4ywid347fjat4mxl+state:results
In general, I wouldn't recommend deleting system users like this. The default database setup expects the vclsystem account to have id=3, so when you recreate the record in the database, you may get a different ID. At the very least, this modified ID will conflict with the default setting for $xmlrpcBlockAPIUsers in .ht-inc/conf.php. You will at least need to modify the values of that array to include the ID of your new vclsystem user. By the way, it is possible but there is no interface for changing local account passwords in 2.2.1 (an interface for this was added for 2.3). If you need to change a password, however, this message describes how to do it: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/vcl-user/201209.mbox/%[email protected]%3E Aaron On Oct 12, 2012, at 11:37 AM, Michael Jinks <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm trying Aaron Coburn's approach to getting better debug information > from the XML::RPC code in utils.pm.
