I wonder if anyone can help. This may only take a short time to
debug for someone in the know. More than happy to compensate for any
time spent on it...
<br>
<br>
It's been a long while since I have worked with Perl, I am in a Ruby
role right now but we have an old (12 year old) Perl website that
stopped working after the server rebooted. The shopping cart did,
anyway.
<br>
<br>
It seems to be trying to read session information relating to the
shopping cart, the error showing up in the log is a "Could not open
file '/var/lock/session/Apache-Session-blah.lock' for writing: No
such file or directory at <i><span>/</span>usr/share/perl/5.8/CGI/Carp.pm line
314". The /session<span>/</span></i> folder it
refers to doesn't actually exist, though even after I created it the
error persists and no session files are being written.
<br>
<br>
If anyone has any time to help, we would greatly appreciate it and
can arrange for a console into the server and much beer + cash
prizes for anyone that helps solve our problem!
<br>
<br>
Many thanks,
<br>
<br>
