compare your code with apr-util/test/testdbm.c and see why testdbm.c works and yours doesn't
ok, thanks! Will look at this...
however I think it is perhaps a general issue of my installation; but I thought since the log files are also created in the same dir automatically the sdbm file should do too, or?? sorry, but I'm not the Unix crack; so maybe I did something wrong when installing Apache2, but everything else is working fine except this...
the dbm support, and in fact apr/apr-util as a whole, knows nothing of Apache or its log directories... if you want to create a file in Apache's log directories you'll need to find that directory and specify it on the open
