texte = Ken, If the permissions issue/fix doesn't work, maybe this will provide some insight for you on your system. I had a similar problem/message on my OS X server when I first loaded WebDNA. Here is the solution/fix that worked for me. The fix is FYI: **************************************************************************** On OSX 10.2 and greater the external startup items need to be in: /Library/Startupitems not in the Apple reserved: /System/Library/Startupitems So to resolve this, go to the terminal and enter: Sudo mv /System/Library/Startupitems/WebCatalog /Library/Startupitems Enter your password Restart and you should get an OS X message that the permissions on the Webcatalog startup item are not correct. Click 'Fix' and then Click 'Restart' Now all should be OK. **************************************************************************** Take care, David David D.
