The setting of this environment variable was forbidden in the apache configuration, but also, the directories to which the variable pointed were not mounted on the new server.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In particular, /home/… is not mounted on the new server. These libraries were installed in /home/<someuser>/public_modules and /home/<someuser>/vrml_modules. I checked the tops of these files and saw no copyright notices, etc. I created a new directory -- /group/clas/www/clasweb/perl_modules . I copied the contents of the original directories to this location. Then, I changed the apache config to allow the .htaccess file to add environment variables, and edited the .htaccess file to reflect this new location.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The system seems to be responding now, though I can’t login so I can’t actually test the application.
