DB Filelock error
|
Can't Post

I have a strange thing that just started happening to an install that has been working perfectly for years. Starting today, anytime the admin.cgi is accessed (you don't even have to log in - just access the log-in page) a filelock.dat file is created in the /data directory and, with that file creation, any search.cgi functions cease and return a a DB Filelock error. The admin.cgi works fine, but the search.cgi returns a DB Filelock error. The error remains even after exiting the admin.cgi program. The only way to restore the search.cgi function on the website is to manually remove the filelock.dat file that is created when the admin.cgi is accessed.
I have tried removing the # from the disable_filelocking = 1 in the config.ini, I have double checked all the file permissions, and we are running the most current version of the program.
This just started out of the blue today, no server changes (that I know of), nothing has changed with any of the files (with the except to the change to the config.ini file that was made after the problem started).
We have tested extensively and the problem is definitely related to accessing the admin.cgi. Any ideas on what might be causing this ?
