[Building Sakai] JForum difficulties with avatars in a clustered environment

[Murthy Tanniru]

Kathy,
It seems  you have "etudes.jforum.avatar.clustered = true" in 
WEB-INF/config/SystemGlobals.properties. May be the apache is not 
allowing to this context. What kind of setup do you have?

Thanks
Murthy
