Hi again,
        I actually have SIMS running as an extension on my server, so it
loads during startup & WebTen is in the Startup Items folder, but I have no
crashes during startup at all, so I don't know what the problem with your
setup may be.
        On the other hand, I have a 7600/200 which I got a new Seagate
10,000rpm cheetah drive for a couple of days back & some more RAM for that
machine - formatted the drive, did a fresh Mac OS 9.1 install, then did an
install of WebTen - it crashes with a type 10 error on starting - when it
gets to 'Starting Apache' in the progress bar. I've done a couple of
installations, with very similar results (version 3.0.4). It's got me a
little confused I must say - the 7300/200 runs without a problem & as yet
I've done nothing to WebTen at all, because it hasn't actually started.


        Bye for now, Terry Allen
