Greetings,
Just got the script up and I seem to have a problem. Can anyone tell whether this is my fault or my ISP's?

Is this a Windows server? If so, flock is not supported and you will need to turn if off in links.cfg:


I hope this helps.

Greetings,
I turned flock off in the cgi and it works fine, but the ISP I use uses FreeBSD linux and apache as the servers. So I'm curious why flock didn't work. I'll talk to one of my friends (he's tech support for my ISP and a Perl guru), he should know why it didn't work. Keep you all posted.
