I keep getting the error message:

Error locking a file, please try again later!Error locking a file

I pretty sure my permissions are okay, but I can't figure out what else to try.

Can't be of any help unless you upload phpinfo file to your server. You will find it in the "READ THIS BEFORE POSTING A NEW QUESTION!!" topic.

Seems like your OS doesn't support PHP "flock" command. Try editing mboard.php in a plain text editor and change all instances of

Code: Select all

if (flock($fp, LOCK_EX)) {

to

Code: Select all

if (1) {

and delete all this code:

Code: Select all

flock($fp, LOCK_UN);

That totally solved it. Thanks.
