Apologies, I sent this (below) directly to pm instead of to the group as I had intended. I am still at a complete loss as to how to fix this problem in any kind of acceptable solution...
I attempted deleting .flock, renaming it, renaming wiki.d, renaming pmwiki itself, etc. and nothing was successful. Mtime and atime continue to be updated regularly. However, I have found a workaround. I went into pmwiki.php to the Lock() function and changed the line reading SDV($LockFile,"$WorkDir/.flock"); To SDV($LockFile,"$WorkDir/.MYflock"); Now I am once again able to edit pages on my site. However, I don't know if I've set myself up for something else in the future... Hopefully everybody is well-behaved and always uses this function to get/use .flock, but if not I could get myself into worse problems... I would still greatly appreciate it if anybody could give me any pointers how delete the undeletable .flock file so I can go back to normal behavior... -Peter -----Original Message----- From: Peter & Melodye Bowers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2007 4:34 PM To: 'Patrick R.

Or does it return a blank page? Never returns a page to the browser -- message in the status bar continues to say "waiting for ccl-al.org" indefinitely. Hmmm... Actually the page I left in that state 4 hours ago now shows "done" in the status bar and a blank page. No idea when it change nor whether there was any error message that I might have missed since I haven't been near the computer for quite a while... > Try removing the .flock file in wiki.d/ . Hmmm... Can't seem to do that! Results from filezilla: ===(snip)=== Command: DELE .flock Response: 550 /pmwiki/wiki.d/.flock: Cannot delete file. ===(snip)=== Permissions are fine as far as I can see... (rwrwrw=666) Webadmin gives no errors when I attempt the deletion, but the file is still there after "deleting". Do note that the atime and mtime is current on .flock. Perhaps changes each time I try to delete via webadmin? Yes, that appears correct. Ctime is sometime back in February (probably when I updated to the then-current beta?) I have no command line access, unfortunately. What I can do via FTP and PHP is the extent of my permission. > > Please, any help in troubleshooting, ideas to try, etc would be > GREATLY > > appreciated. > > Is there a url we could look at? www.ccl-al.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php > > Pm _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
