sb_server users should *not* use 1.1a1. Use 1.0.4 or 1.1a2 (from source, or the binary when I manage to get it out). The problem you experienced is a flaw in the web interface that will be fixed at some point (it might be already fixed in CVS; I don't recall offhand). You changed the type of database, but didn't change the database itself, so problems occurred. You need to change both the type and the database (it's name, to start afresh) at the same time - the catch is that these options are on different pages... Since you've found the .ini, the easy way to fix this is to put the persistent_use_database:pickle line back (under a [Storage] heading) and change the name of the database, e.g., persistent_file_name:hammie.pik. =Tony.Meyer -- Please always include the list (spambayes at python.org) in your replies (reply-all), and please don't send me personal mail about SpamBayes. http://www.massey.ac.nz/~tameyer/writing/reply_all.html explains this. _______________________________________________ SpamBayes@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
