Topic: Database locked error.

Hi,
I have been running punbb for a couple of months (PunBB 1.2.12, on openbsd, sqlite) without any problems.  This morning I was greeted by an error message when I attempted to login, I turned on debugging and this is what I got:

"File: /users/carl/carlsbit/include/functions.php
Line: 45

PunBB reported: Unable to fetch user information

Database reported: database is locked (Errno: 5) "

Can anyone help me out? How do I unlock sqlite? Thanks in advance.

-Harry

Re: Database locked error.

Is the database still locked or did the issue disappear after some time?

Howdy,

I also just started getting these errors--I use sqlite too, and my problem has not resolved itself...
any ideas?

Re: Database locked error.

You would have to take a look at the SQLite command line tool
