[Serusers] SERWeb stalling

Well, the Apache version is 2.0.59. This is running on SunOS 5.9.

However I have noticed that it is not enough to just restart Apache - I 
also have to restart openser!
I am noticing the following entries in the serweb log - these lines are 
only generated when clicking on the "my account" tab -
and it seems when I click on this tab I notice SerWeb stalling.

Jun 07 14:32:55 serweb [debug] Html form was not assigned to APU 
apu_aliases3.  Useing default.
Jun 07 14:32:55 serweb [debug] Html form was not assigned to APU 
apu_acl4.  Useing default

Could this be a symptom of the problem?

Secondly, I have noticed that the issue does not occur when I have 
certain permissions set for the openser_fifo file. I normally see the 
following on the
"my account" tab when first opened....

*"Warning*: fopen(/tmp/openser_fifo) [function.fopen 
<http://delta:8081/serweb/user/function.fopen>]: failed to open stream: 
Permission denied in */opt/serweb-0.9.6/html/functions.php* on line *345*

*Warning*: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by 
(output started at /opt/serweb-0.9.6/html/functions.php:345) in 
*/opt/serweb-0.9.6/html/page.php* on line *35"

*So I would go in and chmod 777 the fifo file (overkill I know but bear 
with me).

Later when I went back to the "my account" tab, SerWeb would stall......

However when the permissions remain at 660 on the fifo file the stall 
problem does not happen but I do get the annoying warnings....

....so it appears to be a permissions issue (and who the owner of the 
openser_fifo file actually is) that is the root cause of all this. We 
can all ignore point 1!

I'll look into it a bit more and let you know what happens.

Thanks guys.
