Hmm- all of these sound like good suggestions in general-- I will definately take a look at that today.
Question tho- my situation is one of the state directory apparently becoming corrupted (as evidenced by strange "hanging" behavior of site scripts when the problem manifests)... what you describe is the state directory disappearing altogether. Are these two phenomena similar enough to be related issues? Another point is that I seem to have these issues most when I'm going back and forth to the secure server. Am I overblowing the significance of this, or is there some "extra thing" I may not be aware of (this is my first secure server-- I'm reasonably sure I have it set up correctly but I don't have enough experience with it to recognize trouble symptoms or make useful diagnosis). Thanks again for your reply- it was definately useful in general and I will take a look at the items you mentioned this afternoon. John Whitten [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wizard.Org, Inc.
