I believe each tab is a separate process in the case of that browser. I wonder how that might affect something like this. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The "favicon.ico" file only contains the small icon you see to the left of the URL in your browser. If it doesn't exist, the browser will just use a generic one. I'd suggest proceeding as follows: o Within the browser window displaying the page you are having problems with, check the source code. This way you can see what the server returns to the client (the browser, in this case) and rule out possible issues caused by the browser itself while rendering a page. o Continue searching the web server logs for other more meaningful errors. Are you sure you don't see any other errors in the browser window? Also, are you sure you simulated the very same environment from the original system? Same directories, databases, etc.? I'm not familiar with CakePHP, but perhaps you need to set certain config options to get it to work. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If you need to run them both at the same time, the following document helps explaining how to accomplish it: http://lifehacker.com/software/firefox/geek-to-live--manage-multiple-firefox-profiles-231646.php I never tested it because I don't run Windows, but a similar setup works just fine for Linux. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

It's not limited to PHP sessions either. It's always been my experience on any website that requires authentication, including the likes of Google Mail, etc. When I want to run multiple sessions for different GMail accounts, for example, I just create a different user profile in Firefox. It'd make sense for things to run this way, I think. After all, I'd find it quite confusing if I log into Google Docs, open a document (by default, it opens in a new tab) and I had to log in yet again to be able to edit it. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If I understood Arno correctly, he was recommending to implement something like the old "/var/run/*pid" files in UNIX. That way, you can control whether or not the previous run is already done with the file before you move on. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
