We have since restarted webcat with also no change.So basically using an [append] or [replace&append=t] messes up this database.I really can't see anything wrong in the code, especiaally since the code does save the proper new values.We have even stopped webcat, deleted the database, created a new file using vi and populated it with a couple of vallues (and could cat the file just fine). Then restarted webcat and ran the code again, and the line endings were messed up once more.This is really annoying. I beleive we have tried everything reasonable and then some.made sure all lince feeds were unix have repeated deleted files and replaxced them maually have proerly closed and/or committed databases before replacing have restarted webcat started with empty database filewhat more can I do?
