Re: [cobalt-developers] PKG install problem on RaQ550

["John D. Gorena" <Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I too had the problem, well, similar problem that I had to uncheck the
"Packages Must Be Authenticated" box in
BlueLinQ > Settings > Advanced > Packages Must Be Authenticated

This last time, I had to do a complete CD Restore and start over which I
hope that I do not need to do when I finally get it working for clients.

I also find it odd that the Raq550 stops doing things like your
problem.  Usually, I have to uncheck something and recheck it in the GUI
to work.  One such problem is CGI usage in User accounts.  Sometimes
they stop working and the server says that CGI is not installed for the
domain.  I go and uncheck it, save it and then check it again and save
it - then it works.

Hopefully the patches that I have recently installed will fix the
problems.
