Hi


I'm not sure about that "AuthDigestDomain".
You put...
http://server1.example.com"
...but I'm always using...

...for all domains and their subdomains and it works... .

And: if you do a "ps -Af" and look for the "apache2" process, do you really see it running as the "apache" user?

Aha - yes, Smekey_justme is 200% correct.
