in reply to Tie Failed for berkeley DB file

Like Aritotole said, but taking a wild stab in the dark: What are the permissions on the parent directory?

    Here is the parent directory permissions,
    $> ls -ld data
drwxrwxr-x   21 doc57    shaklee      8192 Jan 12 15:57 data
$>

    I can able to tie other db files in the same directory. Also the same setting ( permissions , options and code ) working for that file in other host ( RH enterprise 4.0 ).

    Is that any thing with the OS issue ?

        It displayed nothing.Here is my code,
        tie( %hash, 'DB_File::Lock', $file, O_RDONLY, 0666, $DB_TREE, 'read' )
+ || die ( "db file open error ..:$!:");

      I am having the same problem. It works fine for other files, other platforms. But one file on linux machine fails to tie. It does not even print the error message. Please let me know if you found the solution.

        Use db_stat/ db_verify... to investigate the file
