Yes, to mention we are using LDAP, with the default libphp5.so file
that comes with debian when installing it through apt, everything
works. I can login with LDAP credentials, I can have users who are not
logged in 'dropoff' files etc. The problem then is large file sizes,
so I followed the instructions on zendto.com about modifying php5 to
support larger file sizes. I've rebuilt the libphp5.so according to
the website, and now using that modified one I get these issues where
I cannot login and use the 'dropoff' feature. 

When I try to login it just brings me back to the login page. If I try
to just do a dropoff without login It brings me to a page failed (here
is a Screnshot: http://imgur.com/dxMwD)

So the problem is the libphp5.so but I cannot figure out what about it
is the problem. I redid the steps according to your website and it
went fine. So what I'm curious about is why its failing, do I need to
do something else? How can I test that the libphp5.so that I have that
is modified is any good? How can I see why its failing. 

If I replace back the original libphp5.so file everything works but
then I don't get large file transfers. 

(Btw when it works, it works great!)
