UBB.Developers Forums General Discussion Chit Chat Local servers

Not sure if this is even in the right forum, but nevermind.

I was just wondering why UBB 6 will not work on local servers. I am currently running a program called Web Site Pro and when I setup my UBB to run locally it keeps coming up with an error in the flock() procedure. I know version 5.X worked ok.

I really hope this can be fixed soon because I need to upgrade my local UBB very soon.

(Maybe I should've posted this at Infopop's forum but I know alot of them use this forum too.)

Thanx!

Flock is not supported on the Windows 9x platform. You need Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 or Unix (Linux).

Workaround (only for test installations):

Open ubb_lib.cgi and comment out flock

sub sh_lock {
#flock(FILE,LOCK_SH);
} #end shared lock sr

sub lock {
#flock(FILE,LOCK_EX);
} #end lock sr

sub unlock {
#flock(FILE,LOCK_UN);
} # end unlock sr
