hi, i just got my windows/php/db3 env compiled. But when I run a simple test script, I get this error: C:\TEMP>php -f simple.php Notice: dba_open() [http://www.php.net/function.dba-open]: read: 0x12f8f4, 256: Permission denied in C:\TEMP\simple.php on line 3 Notice: dba_open() [http://www.php.net/function.dba-open]: testdbcache.db: Permi ssion denied in C:\TEMP\simple.php on line 3 Warning: dba_open(testdbcache.db,c) [http://www.php.net/function.dba-open]: Driv er initialization failed for handler: db3: Permission denied in C:\TEMP\simple.p hp on line 3 opened testdbcache.db -> C:\TEMP> The script looks like this: <?php $path = "testdbcache.db"; $id = dba_open($path,"c","db3"); echo "opened $path -> $id<br>\n"; if($id) { dba_close($id); echo "closed $path<br>\n"; } else echo "nothing opened<br>\n"; ?> It looks like a simple permissions problem, but the weird thing is that the testdbcache.db file is actually created in the directory, with 0 length. has anyone seen this type of error or know how to fix it? thanks dave __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
