texte = I have read the thread. If the file is corrupted the first time it is hit, and only that file has that problem, then there is either something wrong with that file or there is something wrong with the template calling that file. If there is something wrong with the template and, for example, you have a spider walking your site, you will not have time to copy the file before WebCat reloads the corrupted version.If you reboot the computer, make sure that nothing can call that file, delete that file and replace with a backup copy, then hit a template, you will be able to confirm or deny that it is a bug in WebCat. There must be no copy of that corrupted database in RAM when you copy the backup over, because WebCat will simply overwrite the new copy.I would also suggest making a simple template which just does a trivial search and returns some records. You should also be doing this on a non-production server, unconnected from the public network. You should also make sure there are no triggers active.HTHJohn PeacockTC wrote: > > Thanks for your reply, but I think the problem is much more involved than > that.
