Re: [phpesp-general] PHP_AUTH_USER failing?

[James E. F. <jf...@ac...>]

Try setting:
	'auth_design' => FALSE,
in your phpESP.ini. While you are at it you will probably
have to set:
	'auth_response' => FALSE,
too. Please let me know if you encoounter anything broken
with these off -- I haven't tested everything recently with
them off.
