I'm moderately aware of such issues due to other projects, and this has caused some inconvenience in the past. Usually it is a simple matter of patience with the lock file clearing itself, but not in this case. I've checked ownership on the database (administrator) and permissions on the folder (read/write/delete/ which are appropriate).
I can overwrite the database via the network (since I'm part of the admin group) but I still can't delete that lock file so others can do this via FTP. One other point of interest, this is the content of the lock file itself:
ETHOL admin
...so it's only the administrator keeping the damned thing open (my interpretation anyway).
Am I missing something here or is there a simple way of updating the database via FTP while by-passing the lock file, or is there another way of removing the lock file that doesn't entail a server reboot?
Has anybody encountered anything similar before because I'm really at a loss, and the client is wanting to be able to do this?
TIA
Regards
Mark
