can't write to database

[sakshale]

I see a lot of these errors:


GDBM Warning: Insert: gdbm_open failed on file '/usr/local/share/showeq/itemrawdata.dbm': Can't be writer

However, I am, obviously, running as root and the file exists and is writable.

$ ls -l /usr/local/share/showeq/itemrawdata.dbm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1413414 Apr 22 18:48 /usr/local/share/showeq/itemrawdata.dbm

I do have two instances of showeq running, so that may be an issue.

[Cryonic]

Yes, that could be the issue. is it the second instance of SEQ that is giving that error?

[csmith12]

I would presume, that the first instance of showeq has the files locked

I have running up to 3 instances of seq on one machine since July 01 - i never got a sharing error....


Don´t have a clue 8-(

Hmm... Ran with only one instance of ShowEQ and still saw the write errors...

How is file locking done? Is there a lock file hiding somewhere that may be corrupted?

You might be out of disk space. Do a 'df' to find out.
