Hi John, I'm going to guess that the problem might be more to do with STARTUPURL then <@URL>.
Maybe the Server cannot find the address of the TAF specified in STARTUPURL? The "HOSTS" file is handy for these kinds of things. Do you know if STARTUPURL is successfully calling the TAF at all? Because the execution of the TAF in this case is not easy to see, try putting something like a File/Write Action in the TAF that records something in a text/log file - just to verify the TAF is executed. And no, I don't think it's possible to initialize Domain Variables from outside the Domain - unless you use <@URL> of course. Custom Scope works almost exactly like Domain Scope, except the Variables are visible across all Domains present on the Server. Just watch your naming, to make sure things don't get stepped on. Sometimes having the Variables visible across Domains is a good thing because then sites with more than one address on the same Server (e.g., www.mydomain.com and mydomain.com) can share one Custom Scope Variable as opposed to two Domain Scope Variables that are supposedly the same value. Hope this helps. Cheers....

It is critical that these values are current any time Witango starts or restarts. In the past, we have used the startup URL to call a taf (ironically we can run this taf by hand in a browser fine) that told us which domains required initialization. This taf in turn uses an @URL tag to "restore" domain vars for each respective domain. However, we have not had success using this logic with V5 of Witango and do not know why. We have tried the new parameters for the @URL tag without any luck. Is there any reason why our startup URL will not run with the @URL tag used in it? It is not reporting any errors in the log files during startup. Also, is there a way to set domain vars for a specific domain from within a different domain? Although it does not intuitively make sense to me that you could, I thought I would still pose the question. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
