texte = I have basically the same problem. The WebCat cgi is freezing up, and it stops everything else, too, but as soon as you force quit it, everything starts clicking away again. I am not getting any error message at all. It just locks up. But it does appear from the webcatalog.debug file that every lockup is preceded by a transferrence from the invoice.tpl file to the thanks.tpl file with the user being a Windows platform every time. What is particularly difficult to figure out is why it only happens sometimes and not others. I can run a Windows computer through the ordering system a hundred times without locking it, but I have seen the exact same customer lock it up 3 times consecutively, immediately after each time I force quit.Joseph D'Andrea wrote:> Apologies for the cross-post, but I beleive this problem can be solved with > people on either list. > > First question....
