You're getting into "deep <expletive deleted>". If by "system basically hangs", you mean that the server process is executing, but unresponsive, you'll need to stop/restart it.
Deleting Group would likely clear cache (although I've never personally done it). It would also undo/negate arreload (of group cache). And it would invalidate your users - they're no longer members of a group. You need the Administrator group (1). If you deleted Group form, it's gone. The only way I know to add a group, by other than an update to Group form, is to run arcache with the -Ga option to create it. Check the documentation for other options (-i1 for Group ID 1/Administrator, -c0 for Group category 0/regular, etc.). Afterwards, if User cache is OK, you should be able to login in and import group.def and group.arx to recover the remaining groups. If user cache is gone as well, you'll need to re-run arcache with the -Ua option (plus others) to add an administrator id. Easy enough to find out - try to log in or run arreload (which requries you to specify a valid login). Good luck. You're having a bad day.

Then I deleted the group form, and tried to import a clean version of the group form with new data. The system basically hangs. __20060125_______________________This posting was submitted with HTML in it___ _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at http://www.wwrug.org
