Yes, that did it...I was looking at a template in the docs folder and
incorrectly adding that active....Just FYI, we use a SIS called Web2 School up
here in Maine and I'm working with one of the people there right now. It's all
written in java and it looks like all I need to do is install W2S on the same
Fedora box as the POS and then import my data over from the current Windows
server that it's running on and he thinks I'll be all set. I will keep you
posted on how it goes. There are a fair number of schools in the NY, New England
area that use Web2School for their SIS....Thank you for all that hard work by
the way...It looks like you will be saving us around $5000 as opposed to
purchasing NutriKids, which btw was almost in the purchase order stage...lol
Thanks again, J
