Again replying to myself.... here is the explaination I got from my provider: If Apache is compiled with the option -DSECURITY_HOLE_PASS_AUTHORIZATION, then it will pass the User/Pass Auth data to a CGI application through the HTTP_AUTHORIZATION header (eg, in FastCGI, -pass-header HTTP_AUTHORIZATION). By Default, the User/Pass data is not passed with the HTTP_AUTHORIZATION header. Technically this is viewed as a potential security violation, but on our system, all Authentication would be handled either by .htpasswd or internal PHP Code (eg PHP controls it). No System User information is passed in the clear, and hence its really not a security violation. On systems that utilize other mod_auth modules, then perhaps it could be (eg , LDAP or PAM ), but in general, these are special circumstances and generally not available in Shared hosting environments. ....... I hope that helps those that are having the same probs as me! John ka0osk :)

:thumbsup: Replying to my own message! I bitched to my provider and they admitted that they had changed over to cgi in the last few day.... AH HAH! They made a few changes and recompiled Apache and now it works just fine! John ka0osk :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: <_<

I just started having this problem --- I didnt change a thing, so I am assuming it has somthing to do with my provider changing something. They changed permissions on several dirs on my a few months ago out of the blue, but this thing has me baffled!!!! Does someone have a admin securing contrib that doesnt use the PHP_AUTH_USER session vars? john ka0osk@netscape.net

I am replying to my own stuff again... seems something happens to files when I download then upload them, even if I dont change them...maybe I am not doing it in the right mode? Let me know if you figger out my goomba! I managed to corrupt my backup.php quite nicely...DOH!

I just installed this contrib and now I get: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare tep_db_connect() (previously declared in /hshpere/local/home/ka0osk/midwesttent.com/admin/includes/functions/database.php:13) in /hshpere/local/home/ka0osk/midwesttent.com/admin/includes/functions/database.php on line 13 Wherever I hit edit.... Anyone got any ideas? KA0OSK :(
