thanks Roberto, and I am sorry if I sounded "anscious".
I re-did everything a couple of hours ago and got the same mesaagges. I will go back to my office in 30 min and might try something else (your suggestions would be appreciated). What I did is:
dropdb mydb
createdb mydb
load-geo-tables (no errors in the log)
loadded data-model (no errors in the log)
changed nscp passwd as described in the nsd.tcl (I used the one of 3.2.3, maybe I should update but I didn't find anything important with a diff.
killed all nsd processes
removed log/server.log
restarted nsd and no errors in the nsd log file. It even loaded the nscp module fine.
when I try to register the new user is added to the DB (I see it by doing a select). But the system kicks me back to the register page (as if I had the cookies off, which I don't).
Are you using RH7.0 ? could this be the problem? Last night I downloaded the iso images for 7.1 but couldn't find a CD burner... hopefully tomorrow, so I can update RH.
thanks again
