I changed the ISPConfig code in /root/ispconfig/scripts/lib/config.lib.php beginning at line 1774 as follows Code: if(isset($apache_user) && $mod->system->is_user($apache_user)){ return $apache_user; } else { return "[B][COLOR="Red"]wwwrun[/COLOR][/B]"; } and so it works now as needed. It´s quick and dirty, I know .... I think that somewhere something very special happend on my system that only happens to me Falko, thank you very very much for your support. It helped me much! or do you want further pursue the problem? Of course I then I´ll support you - on my strange system
