One more report: I couldn't get the revlet to work with the shell call, even when I manually selected Shell calls under the Security settings in the standalone builder. In fact, when the revlet launches and asks for the needed permissions, Shell calls is not one of them. Process permission is requested, however, even though I hadn't selected that setting in the Security settings. I'm wondering if that checkbox is wired correctly in the standalone builder.

Can anyone confirm? Have you been able to get shell access in revlets? (I'm just going to leave out shell calls for now.)

Well, as often happens, the act of posting about my problem triggered
an idea of something I had forgotten to check. It turns out that I
forgot I was doing some fancy shell calls to make sure the database
port was open before  trying to connect to the db. Works just fine as
a standalone, but the plugin rightly refuses access to shell calls
unless you ask for permission. I had set it to auto-detect, and it
didn't catch the shell call. At any rate, I just commented out the
calls and it worked like a charm.

Going home for the weekend. My head hurts.

I know there isn't supposed to be any special setup required to run
revlets that access online databases (MySQL in this case). In fact, a
couple of months ago I took a stack that heavily accesses dbs and made it into a revlet, and it worked like a charm. But now I'm trying to do
another one and it loads, but whenever it tries to make a db query--
nothing.

Anyone have experience with this? I'm under the gun to get a project
up by next week.
