Is it a command=add, or an embedded [SetHeader], or something else?When you use any command or context that deals with carts (cart=xxx in the parameters), WebCatalog looks in the prefs for the name of the shopping carts folder. The default name we ship with is ShoppingCarts/, which is a template-relative way of saying wherever the template is that referenced this cart, look for a folder named ShoppingCarts. If you were to change that preference to /ShoppingCarts/, then it would look relative to the root of that virtual web site. Naturally any slight misspellings will make it impossible to find the proper folder.Using file=xxx instead of cart=xxx lets you specify a different path to the cart, and basically bypasses the preference entirely. In any case, on unix systems the folder must be owned by user nobody so that the WebCatalog process can access it.Technical Support ********************************** Smith Micro, Internet Solutions Div | eCommerce (WebCatalog) 16855 West Bernardo Drive, #380 | ------------------------- San Diego, CA 92127 | Software & Site Development WebCatalog Support: (858) 675-0632 | http://www.smithmicro.com Fax: (858) 675-0372 **********************************------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
