here is another fix I found on another board...
in al_initialize.php
you can replace
if( strstr($alpath,"http://") || strstr($alpath,"https://") ) exit( "Invalid \$alpath variable" );
with
if( strstr($alpath,"http://") || strstr($alpath,"https://") || strstr($alpath, "ftp://")) exit( "Invalid \$alpath variable" );
this line will appear twice, update it.
log files are filled with
