trouble validating...
I get this error message when I click on validate :

CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : unable to open validation file: p:/www/mywebsite.com/cgi-shl/annuaire/admin/data/validate.db. Reason:
No such file or directory

validate.db exists on my server and it's not an empty file.
I'm running links on Apache/Windows and everything has been working fine for more than a year until today.
What's wrong ?

Hi,

Did you check the path?
p:/www/mywebsite.com/cgi-shl/annuaire/admin/data/validate.db

Did you check that permissions are set to 666?




Until next time...

> I guess there is no need to set permissions on Apache/Windows. Thank you for answering !

You have a p drive?....Are you sure?

The only major reasons for that error are using incorrect paths and incorrect chmodding.

There is a Bug in the admin_html.pl, here you will find this code:

open (MODIFY, "<$db_modified_name") or &cgierr("unable to
open validation file: $db_valid_name. Reason: $!");


But it should say:

open (MODIFY, "<$db_modified_name") or &cgierr("unable to open validation file: $db_modified_name. Reason: $!");


Then it gives your an incorrect data, instead the 'validate.db' file that sure is in your directory, the file that is mising is the 'modified.db'


Cheers.
