The script also modifies the apache config file and so needs admin priv. I appear to be able to give it that by ticking "Require admin authentication". to have the logged-in user's name. This seems unexpected to me, I would have thought that I would get "root", if anything at all. It also seems at variance with the documentation that lists the environment variables available to the scripts. Can I rely on what I've done or is there a better way of getting the user's shortname? I didn't know you could use PHP code in a post-install script but that's the correct environment variable. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
