So I just changed my Errors.tmpl to:
| Date | Time | Command | IP Address | Error |
|---|
[include file=../ErrorLog.txt]
and my ErrorTemplate.tmpl to:[appendfile file=/WebCatalog/ErrorLog.txt&secure=F]
| [date] | [time] | [command] | [ipaddress] | [errormessage] |
[/appendfile]Now the changes are visible instantly and always written to disk immediately. Thanks again.-- Gil Poulsen, Webmaster************************************************************** * AltiM@c * Phone: (732) 469-2567 * * 429 St. Giles Court * FAX: (732) 469-5823 * * Somerset, NJ * e-mail: help@altimac.com * * 08873 * WWW: http://www.altimac.com * **************************************************************
