Hence, I cannot pin it down to a particular machine or OS version. Could there be something in the TAF that causes this?

Re: Witango-Talk: Witango Studio 5.0 Unexpectedly Quits in OSX
No offense to Witango, but v5 on OS X should be considered more like a beta. It has lots of problems. I agree with Robert's statement above, most of my Witango Dev. Studio crashes stopped when I upgraded from 5.0 to 5.5 and after I fixed all my old .tafs to get rid of that datasource character that got changed/converted in the newer versions of Witango. And I still use BBEdit to change my Filemaker datasources, as trying to do so in Dev. Studio usually crashes the application. And if a .taf file seems to stop working for no apparent reason that can be seen in Dev. Studio, I open it in BBEdit to look for the problem -- once found a whole section of datasource information that had gotten corrupted, but I couldn't tell that from opening the file in Dev.

Re: Witango-Talk: Converting AppleTalk ACGIs
Here's a quick hack, haven't tested it, as I'm just writing it here as a response. Create a shell script, for example folder.sh (make it executable by witango) #!/bin/sh # folder.sh -- shell script to create a folder mkdir $path Then write an external action in witango that calls the script and passes the (absolute) path parameter. You may need to play with permissions to set the directory's x-bit so you can open it.

Re: Witango-Talk: Converting AppleTalk ACGIs
There are a few ways, create a shell script on the fly with a file action, save it and then run it. or make a shell script that can accept a env var as input for the path you want to create. or Download my witango_cmd CLI utility, and you can easily pass a command to it like mkdir through an environment var, and it will run it. http://www.bighead.net/tools -- Robert Garcia President - BigHead Technology VP Application Development - eventpix.com 13653 West Park Dr Magalia, Ca 95954 ph: 530.645.4040 x222 fax: 530.645.4040 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bighead.net/ - http://eventpix.com/ On May 12, 2005, at 6:57 AM, Wayne Irvine wrote: I have an old AppleScript ACGI on Tango 2000 that creates folders.

Witango-Talk: Dev studio crash when connecting to Oracle
I'm having a problem connecting to Oracle (using Oracle OCI). If I attempt to open an existing configured datasource in the dev studio, it tells me that it can't reach the datasource, make sure it is properly configured and online... this used to work (yesterday morning) so is properly configured, and I know the database is online because I can access it through another tool - SQLGrinder. I doubt anything in the database has changed since then (I'm generally notified in advance of any changes). If I attempt to create a new datasource it crashes after submitting from the connect string window. This occurs no matter what type of datasource I attempt to create (JDBC, Oracle etc). I have shutdown and restarted my computer in the hopes that that might clear something so it would work, this failed to correct the problem. I have upgraded to 10.3.9 since the last time I created a new datasource the web servers aren't having a problem connecting it is just my Dev Studio. Mac OS X 10.3.9 Dev Studio 5.5.08, Oracle OCI Any suggestions on what to do... I need to resolve this quickly. I've put in a request to customer service, but if anyone else has an idea on things I can do to help research and resolve the problem, I'd appreciate the help. thanks, Maggie TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf

Gary, If you are using a unix based OS then you need to use witango55_apache2.so, if you are using windows it will be witango55_apache2.dll.

Re: Witango-Talk: Dev studio crash when connecting to Oracle
further question... I've been able to continue working (got a deadline) by copying a search action, then manually editing the taf in BBEdit to point to the new columns in the new table... but... how necessary is the DataDictionary portion of the search action? At this point, I've just ignored the old DataDictionary code (so it still has the old column information therein)... I'm concerned however that I'm likely to let myself in for later problems by leaving a mismatch between the DataDictionary and the SearchColumns... so, would it better to: A. Delete the DataDictionary section altogether... it would presumably be automatically recreated later when/if I ever get the connection to the DB working again? or B. Manually edit the DataDictionary to conform to the columns in the new search? FWIW, it does seem to be working on the server at present with the current mismatch, but this is of course not under load, and currently there isn't any data stored in the columns being referenced.
