"Your problem report changes have not been sent"

        In the above error "Config" is a category and 6 is the PR number= assigned.
        It is me (Ramesh) who is changing the state and when I submit the changes= , I am getting the above error.
        In the "locks" directory, there is a "6.lock" file wh= ich gets created.

I am running the "gnatsd" daemon through xinetd.

How can I solve this problem? Please let me know.

Thanks and Regards,

Hello,

The lock file = is not a stale file. It is getting created every time
the moment I = click on the submit button after entering the reqd changes.

        Probably, the = lock file should be created to prevent a simultaneous modification
        by an other u= ser. The problem is that the lock file should get deleted on it's own
        and but it is= not.

Thanks and Regards,
Ramesh Chandra

Subject: Re: PR Submission (Change of state) gets locked=

It appears that you have a stale lock file (the 6.lock fi= le in the locks
directory)
that is preventing you from submitting updates. Delete t= he lock file and try
your PR update again.

Stale lock files can result if an edit is abnormally term= inated....say,
by killing
an edit-pr process during an edit.

Hope this helps.

Have you made any changes to the database config files (categories etc.) lately? gnatsd 3.x does not handle syntax errors there gracefully and may leave stale lock files behind when it dies. You should probably have a look at your config.

I checked up the files under gnats-adm directory and found it to be of right syntax. Does "gnatsd" daemon crash only because that the database config files are not in the right syntax OR are there any other reason that it can crash? Please let me know.

Have you made any changes to the database config files (categories etc.) lately? gnatsd 3.x does not handle syntax errors there gracefully and may leave stale lock files behind when it dies.

Hello,

        Thanks for the= pointer. I think as you have pointed, the gnatsd daemon
        might be cras= hing. There is a "kcore" file created in /proc directory.
        Is there a wa= y that I can debug this "kcore" file to know why gnatsd
        is crashing?<= /FONT>

I checked up t= he files under gnats-adm directory and found it to be
of right synt= ax.

Does "gna= tsd" daemon crash only because that the database config files
are not in th= e right syntax OR are there any other reason that it can crash?

Please let me = know.

Thanks and Regards,
Ramesh Chandra

This probably means that gnatsd crashes while processing = your changes. Have
you made any changes to the database config files (categ= ories etc.) lately?
gnatsd 3.x does not handle syntax errors there gracefull= y and may leave
stale lock files behind when it dies. You should probabl= y have a look at
your config.
