texte = Hi Alain, When WebDNA sees your db in the non-ssl to ssl pages, it sees two different paths. It doesn't know it's a symlink -- that's an OS and Apache thing, not a WebCat thing. I keep any shared databases in my globals folder, then the path is the same. If you doubt this, just have a look at the open databases in the WebCat admin pages, where you'll see the two different paths. This of course isn't a problem if the database is for lookup purposes only, but when you are writing to it, it gets bad fast.
