texte = Thanks. Oddly enough, it was a browser refresh issue. I was too focused on permission issues as the culprit and overlooked the simple answer. :) Verifying the setting in the "WebCatalog Pref" file was a good recommendation too. Along the lines of email and permissions... 1. It doesn't seem that there is a "group" called "www" within OS X. If I do something like "chown www:www filename" using terminal and then look at the permissions via "Get Info", the owner is "www", but the group is "". Is this a bad thing? 2. Is there an "Emailer" app (or process) under OS X or is the app simply "sendmail"? In other words, if I start up sendmail under OS X and set the email prefs to "localhost", have I done all that is needed?
