texte = Environment: WebCatalog Windows EXE version 3.0.4 Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 3) O'Reilly's WebSite 2.4.0.8 (Beta)I have never been able to get $WebCat.dll to operate in ISAPI mode with WebSite until now, but I am more confused than ever.I set up a new site, and for the fun of it, used .shtml instead of .tpl for all of the templates, since the entire site would be using active templates with no static pages. WebSite claims that the new beta version includes the following:(10) ISAPI ISA extension handshakinng is now lenient. It will allow an ISA with any version to bind to WebSite Pro. If the ISA uses advanced ISAPI features not supported by WebSite, an error will be logged.I hoped this meant that I could now use $WebCat.dll instead of $WebCat.exe. I made the appropriate changes in the Associations and Content Types for .shtml, and discovered that it continued to operate correctly. I then went and made the exact same changes to .tpl and got the usual error:Shell C:\WebSite\cgi-shl\WebCatalog\$WebCat.dll does not exist or is not executable.This is weird. I can switch .shtml back and forth and it operates as desired, but I cannot operate .tpl except in wwwserver/shellcgi mode. Is there some other setting I am missing? I tried to look and see if Desktop Explorer had a drive map for .tpl and could find none (although there was a mapping for .shtml to Netscape). What is going on here? If I have to, I can rename all of my .tpl files to .shtml, but I do not understand where this association is being set. It is almost list the Content Types setting for .tpl is being ignored.Could anyone else who is running WebSite let me know whether you are using CGI or DLL style mode and what extensions you are using?TIAJohn Peacock ------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.
