texte = Well, I'm stumped: a clean install of WebCatalog 3.0.1 into a clean install of WebSTAR/SSL 3.0.1 over a clean install of MacOS 8.1 (HFS Standard) cannot find the root folder. Any tags using the root as the beginning of the file path (i.e. file=/includes/header.inc or db=/databases/software,inc) will return an unable to find file/database error. My installation is very standard--the WebCatalog folder in the WebSTAR folder--and the root folder preference is set to ../ Can anyone clue me in to what other factors might affect WebCat's understanding of the directory? An identical set-up works flawlessly on my staging server. I use [includes] to build headers, footers, and menus on every page of my site, and changing them all to relative paths would be an unnecessary pain.
