vB4.2.2 Admin Panel Error

[roncaruana]

I am experiencing another recurring error with my new vB 4.2.2 installation. When opening the admin panel, I often receive this error:
Fatal error: Could not obtain file lock in ....\includes\class_datastore.php on line 820


The odd thing is that there is no line 820 in the referenced php file. Any ideas what could be wrong here?

I think you're looking at an old version of that file (the date on the bottom is in 2007).

Anyway, it appears to synchronize some operations by using a database field as a lock, specifically the table adminutil, where title='datastorelock', it sets the 'text' column to a timestamp, and then to 0 when it's done. So you could get past that error using this query:

UPDATE adminutil SET text = 0 WHERE title = 'datastorelock'

But that doesn't fix the real problem or explain why it's happening periodically.

Thank you for the information.

I see that you have another thread about an encoding problem. Maybe when you work that out, this problem will go away.
