Re: using listfiles to build a database? more

texte = I have gone a head and tried to write this database and nothing is written. Here is the WebCat code:------------[ListFiles ./pdfs/] [Showif [IsFolder]=T] [ListFiles [FullPath]] [hideif [IsFolder]=F] [ListFiles [FullPath]]
[fullpath] | [filename] | [cart] [Append db=dbs/ files.db]pub_filepath=[fullpath]&pub_filename=[filename]&pub_id=[cart][/ Append] [/ListFiles] [/hideif] [/ListFiles] [/Showif] [/ListFiles]------------this is WebCat 3.0.7 on Solaris. I have checked to make sure that the files are owned by 'nobody' and everything is in the webroot folder that we use for the site. I have tried with the full path (from root) to the database etc.As I am not a unix guru, I don't knwo where to look on the system for possible error messages that might tell me why I couldn't write to the database. I can say that the [elapsedtime] is longer since I added the append context. Anyone have any ideas as to why this isn't working? Is it something dumb in the code or do you think it is in the permissions?And I have checked the case of the db filename, that isn't the problem
