So that I'm completely clear:
1) Download/save the patch file into your inn-2.4.1 source directory. You
mentioned two patches.
a. http://www.avalon.net/~hakehoe/inn/ovdb_2.4.1_patch.txt
b. The patch that you attached in one of your emails, which I've
attached as "patch.txt"
c. My source directory is /opt/SRC/src/inn-2.4.1. Where would I put
each of the files listed in point 1a and 1b?
2) Change directory into your source directory: cd inn-2.4.1
3) Apply the patch with this command: patch -p0 < ovdb_2.4.1_patch.txt
4) Repeat steps 1-3 with the patch.txt file that I sent you
5) Do a "make update"
6) Restart inn
I did the readserver fix (ovdb.conf) that you mentioned and the problem
still persists.
Thanks Heath.
