Since they have to be in the same folder at all times, you're going to have to move the WebCatalog Prefs file to the cgi-bin folder, too. Just go to the WebCatalog folder and find the WebCatalog Prefs file and drag it into the cgi-bin folder.Oh, and if there's already a 'WebCatalog Prefs' file in the cgi-bin folder, that's probably a blank file created by WebCat2 when it couldn't find the one that was 'supposed' to be there, so go ahead and replace that new file with the one you're moving ... :)Next ...The WebCatalog Prefs file has a preference in it called 'EMailFolder'. The *value* of this preference is the relative path from the WebCatalog.acgi to the EmailFolder. When you moved the WebCatalog.acgi, you effectively changed the relative path from WebCatalog.acgi to the EmailFolder, but you didn't make that change in the WebCatalog Prefs file, so now you have to fix this situation, too.You can change this preference value manually by dragging the WebCatalog Prefs file onto SimpleText which will open it. Then find the 'EMailFolder' preference and change its value so the NEW value indicates the relative path from the WebCatalog.acgi to your 'EMaliFolder'.Or if you don't want to make this change manually, simply launch WebCatalog and use your web browser to make this change using the WebCatalog Admin interface.Emailer should work just fine after you make these changes ... :)Sincerely, Ken Grome WebDNA Solutions Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
