I have my mysql databases set up on one windoze 2000 box on d drive with the main folder on C drive using junction to create a symbolic link ( Unix so much easier! ) so as to make the sys admin happier. I have a perl script on another box that accesses this database via the network and I am getting the following message: DBD::mysql::st execure failed: Can't lock file (errno: 13) at.... (gives the location in the script where error is happening. Not sure how to trace this down. Any and all help appreciated.
