Greetings!

I just recently installed a fresh copy of Manila 9.6 on a dual 2.0GHz G5 tower, Mac OS 10.5.6, running Altivec Frontier. All updates applied to Mac OS and Manila.

Created a new site, used for a theme only.

Advanced Prefs Theme:

Fill out form, click "Yes" button, hit Submit: Page refresh. Update string appears, "No" button selected, no downloadTheme link.

Repeat "Yes" and Submit: Page refresh, Update string updates, "Yes" button selected, downloadTheme link appears.

Click downloadTheme link, get "500 Server Error. Unknown error."

Dig a bit. themeManilaWebsite.downloadTheme.flRender still set to false. Manually set to true, table saved.

Click downloadTheme link: 'Sorry there was an error: Can't find a sub-table named "" '.

Set flRender to false, manually; 500 error returns.

Try to turn off clonability: Click "No" button, Submit. Update string updated, "Yes" button selected, download theme link still visible. Repeat: Update string updated, "No" button selected, download theme link vanishes.

Does this on any site created or imported.

Experiment: Replace fully updated manila.root with non-updated 9.5 manila.root. Theme page works as expected, downloadTheme link generates .fttb file, but other bad things happen. Rebuild server from scratch.

Sigh.

I'm setting up a new server for a school district's many sites, and I'm making all the theme sites first. Having a problem cloning them puts a crimp in this plan. Any help or pointers to a solution would be very welcome!

This is a Manila site... http://manila.userland.com/.
