Re: Procedure File Error Condition

The problem seems related to the fact that myprocs.fxp is locked by another channel due to the SET PROCEDURE command. If you want this file to be unlocked after every request, then you must include the commands SET PROCEDURE TO, or RELEASE PROCEDURE myprocs. A convinient place to insert these commands is fw_exit.prg.

You will also get similar messages when you attempt to call code in myprocs.prg after editing it, if another channel has kept myprocs.fxp locked after a previous request.

I'm getting an error condition from my site that does not occur on my local host. The current error reports:

***

There was an error during the interpretation of your request.

Error#          1705
Message:        File access is denied
Program:        C:\INETPUB\WWWROOT\WWW.DATATRACK.NET\INDEX.FXP
Line#           5
Line:           ERASE myprocs.fxp
***

This happens when I try to use the "ERASE my_procs.fxp" command although I got similar messages when trying to access procedures/functions from FWX pages with the following first 2 lines of code in my FWX:

<% SET PROCEDURE TO myprocs.prg

DO proc1 WITH "myvar" %>

The errors then occured when line 1 or 2 was called.

An FTP 'delete' would remove the 'myprocs.prg' but not the 'myprocs.fxp' and the following line would display.

***

"550 myprocs.FXP: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. "

***

It acts like the attribute of MYPROCS.FXP is set to read-only bu it can't be accessed either.

I had this situation before when MYPROCS was called MY_PROCS. It worked fine for a while and then the file locked.

I rewrote everything so that the procedure file became MYPROCS and it worked fine yesterday.

This morning, it locked up again.

Any ideas?
