If I was well learn-ed on permissions then I would feel competent to leave a detailed message... but actually I need to ask some real basic Qs first:I am not the server admin (just a developer) so I don't know what perms are set on webcat itself (if that even makes sense or applies)the root of my site is set like this (linux/RedHat)- drwxr-xr-x 11 johnbutl web 4096 Mar 10 13:37 www.domain.cominside the site's root we find: -rw-r--r-- 1 johnbutl web 4527 Mar 5 11:38 MostOfTheTemplates.tpl (how most of the pages are set) drwxrwxrwx 3 nobody web 1024 Mar 13 23:29 WriteHere (where I keep the db's that webcat manipulates) drwxrwx--- 2 nobody web 5120 Mar 15 13:15 ShoppingCarts (same with Orders directory)inside the WriteHere directory we find: -rwxrwxrwx 1 johnbutl web 58764 Mar 13 23:29 products.db (this is how all the db's that webcat manipulates are set) (This products.db is the one I previously had the issue arise with - where there were at least 2 versions in webcat's cache being served up alternately.)So does this look like a setup that is asking for that issue to arise? Should it be different? If you say it should be changed could you mention security issues and any other concerns that apply? The system admin and I played with the perms until we could append as well as delete records from a db, while also allowing me to ftp remotely, while allowing the pages to be served up at all in a remote browser...Thanks!-JohnWebDNA Support wrote:> If WebCatalog is not running with permission nobody then it is possible > for more than > one Webcatalog Parent Process to run and manipulating databases.
