webcat serving up 2+ versions of the same db!!!??

texte = I am real spooked.On Linux, webcat 3.06f, I have some admin templates that allow the admin to add/modify/delete products. No Problem... the templates have been working fine for weeks and I haven't been messing with the code other than tiny cosmetic things. The problem is that all of a sudden webcat seems to be holding two (or more?) conflicting versions of the product db in cache. So when the admin modifies a product and then goes back to the product catalog listing (a search that finds all products and lists them each in their own table row) she may see that the product has been modified or maybe it has not. Or another example - if she deletes a product then goes back to the catalog listing, it shows the product has not been deleted, or maybe it has. I have her on the phone and I say, hold on don't do anything. She freezes. I force reload the catalog listing repeatedly and on every refresh the template loads one of the apparent 2 versions of the product database... at the top I have [numfound] and it says 60 I reload and it says 61. I reload and it says 60.... On and on... I close the database (via [closedatabase]) and then it stops, but as soon as any action is taken which tries to modify the database in any way, the same problem arises again. And for sure no one else is in with any access to any of the templates... When I download the db and look in with BBedit I see the correct version (so it seems the [commitdatabase] is working on the right version at the right time), but the ram version(s) are not consistent/stable...I think webcat is haunted... this is not good... (ultimately the product db will be changing all the time during remote business transactions as inventory control code does its job etc... I guess I don't need to point out further why this behaviour is bad...)Any clues?-John ------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.
