texte = Hi there,Has anyone boiled down a list of things we need to know to make the Linux/Apache version of WebCatalog to work?I've got a site working on both platforms. I'll be watching both over the next little while to decide which to go with for the long term. I lean toward the unix version because all my other web sites are on a unix box.I noticed that (for my site that passes size/color into the cart page via forms from item pages):- the Linux version needs an [orderfile] context on the cart page - the Mac version will not work with the [orderfile] context on the cart page - in the Linux version, the cart item remove command doesn't work on the invoice page, but the remove does show after a page reload - in the Linux version, I need to pay close attention to file/dir permissions (not a big surprise) - in the Linux version, there doesn't seem to be the option of using Apache includes instead of WebCat includesSo it seems that there are some fundamental differences in the way the two versions deal with cart files. Of course I would prefer that a set of files would work on both versions without customization. Any other differences we should be aware of?Also, is there a unix utility you know of that watches to make sure a process is running and fires it up if it's not? I noticed that something crashed WebCat on the Linux box and it took two restarts to get it back up. MySQL does this sort of thing.Albert---------------------------------------- Albert Everett - Web International, Inc. 501/372-0393 aeverett@webinternational.net www.webinternational.net------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.
