Re: [phpGroupWare-users] Path to user and group files.....error

[Dave Hall]

There have been several reports of this lately.  The best I can work out
is that something has changed with the $_SERVER variables somewhere in
PHP5, which only shows up on some installs.

As yet I haven't been able to replicate it.  It could be something to do
with using PHP as a cgi, but that is as far as I have got with working
out the cause of it.

Cheers

Dave
