frontpg.lck error message -- should my server know abou... - 8/7/2006 2:30:50
Hi, all....
I've been with the same server (halfpricehosting) for about 7 years now but lately they've been absolutely awful. Service is terrible (can't ever get anyone on the phone and after waiting on hold for 15 minutes or so they automatically switch me to a 'leave a number and we'll call you back' message. Then, they never call back.)
Now, I'm having another problem. One of our sites goes down EVERY NIGHT and I if I try to access it through FP, I get a message:
"Server error. Cannot open file "frontpg.lck" for reading."
I've Googled that message and got numerous pages but a lot of contradictory info. From what I understand, though, this is a server issue. Yet, my server (who finally got back to me via their online question/answer function) says they have no idea what it means.
Obviously, I'm going to switch servers (probably I'll got with Outfront hosting) but I am still very curious. Is anyone here familiar with that error message and is it something that I should expect my server to know about?
I don't want to have unrealistic expectations about what my server support people should or shouldn't know about fp!
Any info you can offer would be GREATLY appreciated!
Barbara

The error message is saying that a file still exists that should not, frontpg.lck.
Think of it like this;
If I am editing a file or web, and someone else comes along and must edit the same file, we should not let them, because otherwise our edits could be lost. (If they save thier changes after I save mine, my changes would be lost). To prevent this from happening Frontpage creates a file called frontpg.lck when you open the file.
It does not necessarily mean that someone IS editing the file, but just that the file has been locked (.lck) for editing.
