    Posted: 23 January 2004 at 1:10pm

Hello,

I'm using the WWF 7.7 forum (access) for 2 weeks now and enjoying it very much.

The only problem that ever occured is that now and then the mdb-database is locking.

That means that .ldb file won't go away for hours or even days. I can't even delete it. (I can get to the file structure via http, when trying to delete the .ldb file it says "no rights")
As long as it is there, the forum is not available. It just tries to load for about 10 minutes and then comes up with an "unavailable" error message.

The hosting company is blaming the forum-software for it, what I can not believe, as nobody else seems to have that problem here.

I have to call the hosting company all the time and ask them to do something about it. Then, after some hours, the .ldb-file is gone and the forum is working perfectly again.

Now, is there someone who can explain what the problem might be and how to solve it? What could be misconfigured on the hosts server that causes such a problem?
(I can not change the host, because of several reasons.)

Any help yould be greatly appreciated.

For that option they charge additional 20 Euros. A month!

But does someone know why that problem exists?? What could be wrong with their servers?

Thank you, but as I said before, I can not move to another host. I'm hosting many sites there right now, and it's way too much work to move them all.

Am I the only one with this problem? What could be wrong with my hosts server configuration?

It's not corrupted.

If I use a backup of that DB on my local server it works without any problems.

The "locking" happens with the original and empty wwforum.mdb database too.
