May I ask what version of Cache you are running? Mine is 5.018 and I didn't have trouble with some of the older ones doing this. They acted just like you discribe, except that I had to be sure they shut down all the way because, unlike now, the Cache controller in Services entry would not always shut down when I stopped Cache.
Now the Cache controller stops fine, but I can't switch out the database and restart it. It acts like it is trying to protect a damaged database from further damage, but if you try to put the first one back, I guess things have changed enough that it won't allow that either. I usually get around it by reinstalling Cache as that is the easiest thing for me to do. Someone told me there is a way to do this, something to do with a right click somewhere, but I can't recall where.

I've never stopped any service under Control Panel. I wonder if you nailed a service that shouldn't have been stopped, or stopping it under Control Panel, something didn't shut down or start up correctly.

That was a quick way to avoid reentering the mappings and test something quickly. Now if I do that, Cache will not start. I understand there is some way to sort of "unmount" the database and switch it out safely, but I have yet to discover where that is. Can anybody tell me how to do that? -- Nancy Anthracite ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
