[freeside] REMOTE_USER problem still...

[colinc]

Ok, I have the authentication working now. Thanks David :)

But now I have encountered another problem further down the track, when i click
any of the links on the page that point to a cgi script i get the following
error:

Not running uid freeside! at
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/freeside/edit/cust_main.cgi line 119

I don't quite understand why, because i logged in as the freeside user during
authentication. Also, looking at the error it says uid freeside! , where did it
decide to put an "!" after the username??

Colin.
