I ported all the code/data to a twin machine I have. And there everything works fine - no problems - as was also in my production machine, before the problems started to appear. The *only* difference between the 2 machines is that one has W2000 Server Italian version, and the other one the English version. For the rest, they have the same software mounted. I have no clue of what happened. Also I don't know which config params to look at, because the error I'm getting is so weird. Unfortunately it would be a big work to reinstall my production machine from start. Any clue someone? -----Messaggio originale----- Da: Svensson, B.A.T.

You might want to review all relevant settings of the server.
