Error during command authentication.
Error - unable to initiate communication with LISTSERV (errno=10061, phase=CONNECT, target=127.0.0.1:2306). The server is probably not started.
Whoever can solve this will have my regard as being a Genius: Here is the first part of my script. It is a script to rename files. The files are dropped onto the script to start it: ---------------------------------------------------- tell application "Finder" try set jFolder to folder of item 1 of filelist --path of folder files were dropped from set jpath to folder of item 1 of filelist as text --make it a string to use. set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ":" set PMName to (text item 1 of jpath) & ":" & (text item 2 of jpath) & ":" & (text item 3 of jpath) & ":" as string set afolder to (text item 1 of jpath) & ":" & (text item 2 of jpath) & ":" & (text item 3 of jpath) & ":HotFolders:DestFolder set jobname to text item 3 of jpath set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {} if jpath does not end with "To Be Renamed:" then beep display dialog "Files must be in the 'To Be Renamed' folder of " & jobname & "." with icon stop buttons {"Cancel"} default button 1 end if on error errmsg display dialog errmsg end try end tell ----------------------------------- In the above script, text item 1 of jpath should be "CF10_O". Yet, if I ask the script to return jpath as a string, the volume name becomes "CF10_O-4" which is not right. I have no idea where the "-4" is coming from, it is not in the Mac Share name on the server. Since the volume name is not as it should be, the script cannot set afolder and errors out. The server is using a util called Extremez-IP for Mac Shares; I don't know if that affects the name of volume shares. Any ideas? thanks, Bob R.
