Well, you didn't mention whether or not you set the RoamingAlias directive which the mod_roaming module needs. You need to edit your httpd.conf file and add a line like: RoamingAlias /roaming /usr/local/etc/apache-roaming-profiles > 2.

You may have to fiddle with the perms. In your browser you'll set the roaming profile URL to http://host/roaming/user (if you used /roaming as your alias). > 3. Is there and good documentation out there for mod_roaming? Dunno. I compiled from source. -- Jens B. Jorgensen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
