thanks for the pointer…that was the weirdest darn thing. the admin-db.php had a 0 file size on the server, but my source file was 9703 bytes. admin-db.php was the only 0 byte file on the server…all the others ftped fine. Strange. However, when i moved over just the admin-db.php file, everything seems to work now, so far.
thanks for the help.
