I built my site using xitami server on my local machine and everything works fine, however when I put it on the Unix server all cgi`s work fine except when I try and make a change to any of the data files and I get this message back;
Error Message : unable to get exclusive lock on /cgi-bin/search/admin/data/categories.db.
Reason: 269244628
My categories.db had all the categories ready made on my machine and uploaded as is, after getting the above message (while trying to modify a category)when I checked the categories.db file it was wiped clean, same goes for links.db, and email.db when I add an email address, any ideas, thanks.
chmod
PS. If I make $db_use_flock = 0; in links.cfg everything works fine, server software is Apache 1.3.3 if that helps.
Further to this my ISP tells me that flock is not supported because of security reasons and I should use fcntl instead, any ideas on this appreciated, and also that LS is not supported and I should use grep instead, thanks.
