The .tmpl pages >serve up fine.First off, you skipped an upgrade in there: 2.0.1 has a new ErrorMessages.db that will display the correct wording on that error message (and its new admin pages let you administer the file suffixes it's allowed to display).As an additional security precaution, WebCatalog 2.0.1 and up let you decide what file suffixes are allowed to be remotely displayed. That way hackers can't download your .db files by just creating a URL that leads to the raw file (there ar a bunch of other precautions in there; that's just one example).Grant Hulbert, V.P.
