datastore error

Thu 29 Dec '05, 7:21am

i keep getting these errors when browsing my forum:

PHP Code:

Fatal error: Could not obtain file lock in /includes/class_datastore.php on line 523

FYI, i use the datastore filecache:
$config['Datastore']['class'] = 'vB_Datastore_Filecache';

The problems started when i upgraded to 3.5.2. How do i make these errors go away?!

Grtz

This is common on big boards using vb filecache datastore system.
You need to disable filecache in config.php, reupload datastore_cache.php file, and then reenable filecache in config.php.

I reported this problem here:

datastore filesystem problem - vBulletin Community Forum

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=164906

On a busy forum, filelock code for datastore cache (in filesystem mode) work bad. Under some conditions, datastore_cache.php is saved to 0 bytes, and then board show some errores or fails until file is reuploaded. Some better code should be used to avoid these problems.

(no solutions posted).
