Fatal error: Could not obtain file lock in /includes/class_datastore.php on line 523

It's now on line 526 of the script. But it's not that big of a deal so why don't you just flock() it?

You're right, it isn't that big a deal to recover. However, Tech Admin did ask to be informed if it occurred again.

Besides, who knows what far more troublesome bug may lurk just beneath that one. Of course, then there's the school of thought that fixing one bug creates two more. <G>

Well, Greybeard, it was just a joke on the php expression of flock which is a file locking expression and file locking appears to be the problem here.

If you're freading and not fwriting you might not need to flock it. Dig it?

Got it. Thanks - been away from the working world too long.

I just got it trying to "mark all threads read". WinXP Pro/Firefox.

been getting the file lock error message occasionally for a couple weeks now. typically when trying to load a page. hitting 'refresh' solves the prob though.
