Re: [cobalt-users] aliases file locked error, and site being deleted error, neither should be true



(I'm resending this, for some reason I don't think it posted, maybe because I changed the font for my directory listing to look more readable)

You should see something lige this:
   0 -rw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 Aug 30 23:24 monitor
   1 -rw-r--r--    1 root     root            5 May 22 16:22 SITEDEL

If you see the SITEDEL file, type this:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/admserv stop
rm /etc/locks/SITEDEL
/etc/rc.d/init.d/admserv start

Okay, that made it so I can delete all the sites I needed to, WONDERFUL :) :)
Every site I deleted, although it did delete, it said the aliases file is locked - and the problem is that I need to add a forwarding address for one user and it won't save (GUI) because I get that same error. Can I just edit a file and add the forwarding address manually?
Any other things to try to figure out why the aliases is locked?
Here is the contents of my /etc/locks:

[root@www locks]# ls -al
total 8
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         1024 Feb  5 10:49 .
drwxr-xr-x   38 root     root         4096 Feb  5 10:28 ..

THANKS!!!
