Hi
I upgraded again. (6.2.1.2)
In the process - I got an error re : a zero byte file.
[I *did* however remember previous posts about this - and remembered a 'partition error'(!) my ISP told me about]

Anyway,
In a minor panic - I figured that I couldn't just delete the file [because I don't know how UBB tracks files] so I inserted the contents of a nearby thread (the smallest file I could find) into the zero byte file.

Are you following so far?

Anyhow - the upgrade now went smoothly - and my board is working well.

The point I am trying to make is....

Have I done something potentially dangerous?

Should I replace the erroneous files with a single byte?
(I didn't do that originally - as I thought that maybe UBB would be "looking" for something...)
If that sounds stupid - I am not a programmer.....!

Anyway - I could ramble on forever - so I'll stop now and just ask for your comments.

Thanks guys - as always.
You *never* let me down.
cheers,
d.

Uh, it sort of depends on what the zero byte file was.

Excuse me Charles,
I was too focussed....!

The zero byte file was one of the noncgi

****** Forum6/00087.cgi ******

type of file

OKay - in this case, you could have just deleted the file and moved on. As it was zero-byte to begin with, it was already pretty much dead.
