Old message with no resolution. Does anybody know how to fix this
after a new install?

Look at the error log just prior to that. Usually some DB action fails, which causes the filter to fail. With more error log output, we'll probably be able to pinpoint your problem in a few minutes.

Which error log and where? This Apache installation is different from the default Redhat install, which is what I'm familiar with. I'll be looking, though.

It's interesting. The install works great. After the install I can log in to acs no problem. But after rebooting it does not work any more. Is there something I need to do?

On reboot, the Postgresql is not re-starting. If you do from root '/etc/rc.d/init.d/postresql start' everything will be fine. The big RPM install doesn't set the Postgresql server to start up automatically.
