[Dxspider-support] USDB - HELP

[Dirk Koopman]

Funnily enough I ran into this the other day. The problem appears to be 
permissions and ownership.

The usdb.v1 file must be owned by sysop group sysop and the permissions 
should be 0664 (-rw-rw-r--)

-rw-rw-r-- 1 sysop sysop 67969024 Dec 25 03:31 /spider/local_data/usdb.v1

If it isn't then modern perls (don't know when this started) won't "tie" 
the database and then error, giving you the "Not Loaded".

cd /spider/local_data; chown sysop:sysop usdb.v1; chmod 0664 usdb.v1

should fix it.

I put out a way to do this automatically in the crontab recently. But 
some people have issues. It is on my list to look at.
