Shared databases

numero = 52645
interpreted = N
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 | +---site3 but 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?
