Re: does not write to file anymore

Nothing ever just suddenly stops, there is always a reason. Could your disk be full? Are you writing to a file but $mainpath does not point where you think? Is mainpath a relative path or a full path. Why don't you see what Perl reckons:

use Cwd;
open F, ">$mainpath" or die "Open $!\n";
print F "Testing\n" or die "Print $!\n";
close F or die "Close $!\n";
print "CWD: ", cwd(), "\n$mainpath\n";
open F, $mainpath; print while <F>; close F;

Ok, I put the code in `close F or die "Close $!\n";` And it died at this point. How do I check the $! ??? thanks	[reply] [d/l]

That statement should print whatever is in $! and $! should be set if the close fails. Have you checked to see if your disk is full? On *nix type `df`. If you have disk space try (on the command line) `echo testing > somefile cat somefile` [download] Does that work? As well as checking disk free with df check quotas with quota `quota your_username quota nobody quota apache` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

ok I hadn't checked the disk space cause I was able to continue modifing the cgi file, and normally when I'm out of space I can't do that. But I decided to check it just in case. And voila! I'm out of space. Thank you oh so very much!	[reply]
