The logical answer is to unfiddle what you changed. We're not going to sit here and guess at what YOU did until we happen to hit on the magic combination. Since you've provided no specific details about those changes, what your error logs are showing or what you've attempted on your own to resolve the problem we can't really help. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
