If your F*EX installation does not work as expected then first look in: $FEXHOME/spool/fexsrv.log (log from fexsrv) $FEXHOME/spool/fup.log (log from fup CGI) $FEXHOME/spool/fop.log (log from fop CGI) If this does not help, set in $FEXHOME/lib/fex.ph : $debug = 1; then you will get in $FEXHOME/spool/.debug/ for each download a log file with detailed debugging output. If this does not help at all, contact me :-) framstag@rus.uni-stuttgart.de
