I am releasing our 4D v11.8 database this weekend.
Active4D v5 runs under 4D Remote and normally runs under our Mac OS
"web client" user.

I've dry run all the setup and installation issues on our
development system without problems. However on our production
system I found that Active4D was running fine if run under the
"admin" user (this was the user created when OS 10.6 Server was
installed, but failed to launch under the web client user.

On both installations our Active4D folders and files are in:
/Library/Application Support/4D/com.aparajita/Active4D/

After a lot of snooping around I found the problem.
When I was setting up the production machine I had accidentally
created the folder:

/Users/webclient/Library/Application Support/4D/com.aparajita/Active4D/

mkdir Library/...

instead of

mkdir /Library/...

I realized this wasn't correct, but forgot to delete the resulting
folder. This left an empty folder at that location.

The Active4D error log showed that Active4D was trying to use that
empty folder. Once I deleted it all was good.
The docs are pretty clear on where Active4D looks for files, but in
case you leave accidental folders lying around, this might help.
