Has anyone ever seen this? It comes up after surfing my forum for a while . I have to wait 10-15 minutes before being able to "get in" again. Members world-wide are reporting the same thing. Hosting company say's it's not them, plus host has large support forum and only 1 other report of same error. He is running custom software though:

 Quote:
Software error:
Can't EXlock
'/home/users/web/b1528/pow.username/htdocs/sisubb/cache-V8PD8B8E/lock/global.cgi'.
The operating system has run out of file locks to give me. Please ask the administrator to contact the web hosting provider. The exact error returned by the operating system is: No locks available.



The 6.7.2 UBB Classic forum has been online for about 4-5 years and this started last week. It seems to happen more when I go back to the forum after a surfing session.

I've cleared cache, and rebuilt forum metadata, but it comes and goes randomly. When I can't get in, I can get in using Google Language tools(Spanish-English). Thanks in advance!

I could go on and on about file locks, but I won't, as you want a resolution, not an answer which will give you nightmares; this is a problem with your webhost, and not your forum software, they need to go play with resources as a properly configured server should never spew this error.

Wow! I've been having the same issue since last week as well.

I'm still using the 6.7.2 UBB.classic as well. I've re-upped my license to potentially upgrade to Threads, but this problem also gives a PHP error -

 Quote:
Accelerator Error:
Oops, I can't get a flock on the counter file.


And the following CP message -

 Quote:
An uncaught exception has occurred while processing your request.

More information may be available on the Debug Information tab.



» Please use your back button to return.

The operating system has run out of file locks to give me.

Please ask the administrator to contact the web hosting provider.

The exact error returned by the operating system is:
No locks available


From the looks of it, we're both using PowWeb and both getting the same answers.

Thanks for the help Gizmo!

(I plan to switch to Threads after 7.3 comes out.)

Yeh, same problem; the issue is that the server is likely overloaded and can't handle the ammout of traffic vs resources; which is quite common with cheaper webhosts that like to oversell resources ;)...

@Nightcrawler: Please post the issue on the Powweb Forum, There is strength in numbers and who knows, maybe help force a resolution. I do get this once in a while also:

 Quote:
Accelerator Error:
Oops, I can't get a flock on the counter file.


BTW, do not go to "Threads" unless you change host. It uses MYSQL and they have nothing but problems posted everywhere about MYSQL...

Powweb?

Ouch, there's your issue right there - they started hosting years ago for something like $5.95/month - yes, of course they've overloaded the server which I'm pretty sure hasn't been upgraded in years.

They are about $9.95 a month now, and have changed hands about 2 years ago, and continue to upgrade servers. But that does not mean they aren't overloaded to beat the band! My issue started about a week ago after 4 years of never seeing this exact issue...

"Overloaded Server" has to be right on the money....

You want to see the MYSQL complaints! Holy Cow!
