Re: [Summary-Talk] WebSTAR V logging advice

[Jason Linhart <jason@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you are using the Mac (Carbon) version of Summary you should always be 
using Aliases. If you are using the OS X Command Line version of Summary 
you should always be using symbolic links. Mixing up the two could cause 
this problem.

Another possibility is that the user that Summary is running as does not 
have permission to read the logs directory. The user Summary is running 
as needs read/execute permission on the directory (and any aliases and/or 
symbolic links involved) and read permission on the log files.

Good Luck
Jason

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
