DB_Lock : Can't create filelock : File exists
|
Can't Post

This is the error I get when I log in. I read another post that said it was the setting on file permissions but I have not changed any file permissions and it has been working for a couple of years. I put in a request to the support team @ the email.cgi page. Does anyone know why it would just crap out?
Thanks,

The way the filelocks work is that they create a temporary directory "/data/filelock.lock" to serve as flag to let any other running instance of the program know that this instance is working with the data files.
Typically, the only reason one might get stuck is if the program was killed half way through before it had a chance to remove it's own filelock. This can happen for a number of reasons including server reboot, out of memory, restarting the web server, etc but is typically very rare.
The latest version of Realty Manager actually has a setup option field for "Maximum life of filelocks" so that if you get a "persistent filelock" it will automatically be removed after 5 minutes. Otherwise, you can just FTP in and remove the filelock.lock directory under /data/ directory and that will resolve it as well.
Hope that helps.
