I recalled that there was a pref setting for sweeping carts but the template for prefs that came with 2.1.3 didn't allow me to set or check this. So, I opened my prefs in a text editor and found the sweepcart entry which was set to 24. This seemed correct, but my cart folder was filled with a months worth of carts (1000's of files!!!). I was confused. I looked at the prefs file from a clean install of 2.1.3 (when installing 2.1.3 I had kept my old prefs). Beleive it or not the two sets of prefs were significantly different - not just the settings but the pref fields themselves. In the new set of prefs there was no mention of sweepcart frequency. So I put the new (clean install) pref file in my WebCat folder on my production server and restarted WebCat. After a few minutes carts older than 24 hours disappeared. (Of course I then had to scramble to update the security, emailer settings etc.) Go figure.Note to PCS: When upgrading a production server I have only a few minutes to bring the server down. Is there a way that the installer could transfer prefs while avoiding the above problems? Or is my case just weird?Rob Schmidt New York Cityrschmidt@panix.com Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
