All file, include, and db references must match case with the filesystem. On the MacOS, you can be lazy and get away with mixed case all over the place, which bit us pretty badly when we tried to move our templates over to MacOSX server.Other than that, most people seem to have problems getting permissions tweaked correctly for webcat to play nice with db files (although we didn't have that problem ourselves).As for platforms, Webcat runs on Linux (redhad and cobalt, I believe), Solaris, and MacOSX server.I found the webcat unix docs sufficient to get things running, but you definitely need someone with Unix and apache experience handy to wade through all the configuration issues.-Dale -- Dale LaFountain Vice President of Information Technology, WebMaster Dark Horse Comics, Inc. mailto:dalel@darkhorse.com Phone: 503-652-8815 x324 http://www.darkhorse.com/------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
