Having a look at things ... I think i broke it while installing phpsysinfo with these commands
/sbin/e-smith/db accounts setprop <new> PHPBaseDir /home/e-smith/files/ibays/<new>/:/proc
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event ibay-modify <new>
where instead of <new> i put sysinfo.
This is just a stab in the dark but apart from an update this is the last thing I did.
Any help would be great.
