PATH used by www user

[Andy Smith]

Hi Frank,

   thanks a lot for looking into it. Yes one server is an older  
FreeBSD 6.1, the other 7.0 so they certainly aren't identical servers.  
But they do have same version of apache (2.2.9) and same version of  
the perl script, and as far as I can tell same config for default PATH  
etc. I had a look and there doesnt appear to be anything setting the  
path in the apache conifg, perhaps it could be a compiled in default  
path?!
I'll ask the apache experts and see if they can help,

thanks again, Andy.
