I realize it is not a very large DB; it=20 only contains who is online, and so on, but what I am still wondering is=20 why webdna is not able to write to it. I have to explicitly tell it from=20 the admin panel what to do with it, and then delte the file and let=20 webdna make a new db whenever it decides to not be able to access it. I guess ill have to resort to the ultimate solution and attempt convince=20 the man upstairs to implement a new system, in something other than webdn= a.
