texte = I'm working on a couple (about 15-20) of small sites on a Mac running OS X/Webstar/WebDNA 4.Some of the databases the sites use are identical, but I can't find a way to get them to access the same *copy* of the base.I first tried a system with one folder for each site and one for the databases like this:my_root_folder | +---database_folder | +---site1 | +---site2 | +---site3but that didn't work. WebDNA simply wouldn't follow paths upwards in the hierarchy beyond the root folder for each separate site/domain name.Then I tried putting an alias of the database folder inside each "site folder", but I still got nothing but "database not found" error messages.The solution right now is to keep a separate copy of each database for each site, and that isn't a good solution, of course. Besides, it's really annoying that something that ought to be very simple turns out to be absolutely impossible to do!Anybody got a good idea?Frank Nordberghttp://www.musicaviva.com-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
