This required a reinstall of WebCatalog per an earlier suggestion.After the upgrade, I can't make any changes to any admin database. (Users.db, Triggers.db, WebCatalog Prefs, etc.)As a test, I set the owner to www for the WebCatalogEngine folder and all enclosed files. I also set the chmod to 777 for that folder and all enclosed files. I STILL can't modify the db's.Any ideas? >Samuel, thanks again!
