texte = I bought webcatalog last year (around June). I was told it would be EASY to install, no more than a weekend. I wasn't even told that the UNIX version was BETA and found out months later. After months of waiting (and looking for a webhosting company that webcatalog could work with), I finally found one, and it aint cheap. They couldn't install the UNIX version so I asked for the NT version even though it wasn't what I wanted. Finally I heard the UNIX version was no longer in Beta so I switched over. (I have been getting temporary serial numbers since I bought the darn thing) I still owe some money and was supposed to pay that balance as soon as I went online and started making money. This has not happened, obviously.Now I have been talking to a tech that doesn't really seem to know what's what. My ISP has been trying to get webcat running with no luck. The software engineer hasn't (or won't) talk to my ISP to resolve the problem. I have been waiting too long and nothing has been resolved.The problem with webcat is that it says I created the database and all the templates but when it says enter database there is an error reading no home.tpl found. Sam's suggestion is to re-install it. It sounds like a simple answer but so far no luck. I tried earnestly and bent over backwards to cater to webcat's needs such as seeking redhat 6 webhosting, Unix server, even to the point of starting my database from scratch using the delimited database(well, I would do this if webcat allowed me to create a functioning database). Sometime last year, months after I bought webcat I was told that if I wanted the complete store done for me it would be $2000. Its great for a company that is making money, but it doesn't work for someone that is trying to start a business and the costs are high enough as it is. I was told before buying webcat that its easy to use and work with but so far I have yet to see it. Now that you know basically what the story is, what can you suggest I do? BTW, I don't know who you are but I am assuming you work for Mirco Smith and could most probably help me out somehow.Kenneth Grome wrote:> >Ok, I've waited for almost a year to get my WebCatalog online.
