I don't mind doing the configuration manually, I'm just curious if I missed something.Please configure it manually.  We provide that very simple script to get people up and running before they learn how to use the _real_ WebStar administration.>If we have both the Web* and Web*/SSL servers on the same CPU, can we still use the plug-in without problems ?  Can we keep them in separate folder hierarchies ?For technical reasons only StarNine can explain, it's better not to use the plugin for a site that has both SSL and non-SSL.  We're planning a fix in the next release that allows W* and W*SSL to use the exact same plugin.>I'm also not sure I understand the RAM requirement is doubled sentence in either of the two interpretations unless you just mean that each CPU would have to allocate RAM for the plug-in.StarNine designed W* and W*SSL to use separate folders for plugins.  That means 2 completely different WebCatalog plugins get loaded, each of which has its own memory space, databases, etc.  To prevent confusion on your part, I recommend using the CGI to circumvent this problem (only 1 CGI ever gets used).  It's possible to use the plugin, but you must be very aware of what data is going where.  Don't worry: the CGI is extremely fast -- ClubMac has been using it for months now with no detectable slowdown.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
