Our production system here runs on RedHat Enterprise AS 3 Update 3 with
the 2.4.21-20.ELsmp kernel, not that it really makes any difference.

Any particular reason why? Something wrong with the Apache installation?

I'm going to have to analyze this problem a little bit and see if I can
find out why that's the case. Have you got cookies turned off in Mozilla
by chance? Cookies must be enabled for OME's web interface to work.

You don't get a "Creation of project successful." message in blue then I
suspect? Just a page reload? If you click on "Projects" under the search
heading in the menu do you have any projects displaying?

This looks like a bug in 2.2.1.1. Can you apply the patch attached? It
should fix your problem.

cd src/perl2/OME/Web
patch -p0 < HeaderBuilderBug.patch
cd ../../
make install
