I did restart the server (I thought). However, I did it through Telnet

it worked like a charm. I knew it was probably something simple.


A comment/suggestion: if you're working with wwwoptions or top/botlogo on a single port (i.e., staging or live), restarting the port via Web Options is your best bet. If you use the character-based interface to restart you have to restart all Web processes because the separate processes you see in "restart a terminal" are not labeled in a way that one can easily identify with which port each process is associated. (To make sure you restart all, limit the display to processes that contain the string "world", or whatever string uniguely identifies your Web server processes.)

Note however, that if you're working in staging and you choose to use the character based interface to restart all Web processes, you will be restarting the live processes along with staging, which can have negative consequences on active users. (E.g., wiping out saved/marked records.)
