It was quite late prior to the weekend when this was resolved so I did not update it once I was back up and running. For anyone following this problem was a permissions issue on the server. I had to open a support ticket and ask the helpdesk to reset the ownership of my agora cart folders to user "nobody". All is well now.

Hi Guys, I've been happily running agora cart on my site hosted with TCH for around 2 years without many problems until today. Today I had to delete a product from withing the management interface of agora (which happened without showing me any errors) but since then when I attempt to place an order I'm receiving the error "I could not open the lockfile - check your permission settings (./log_files/error.log.lockfile)". I've checked permissions on the file in question and many more for that matter and as far as I can tell they're all ok. Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem and if there are any suggestions to fix it. One suggestion I have found for this problem involves installing wrappers (as per http://www.agoracart.com/agorawiki/index.p...apper_Overview). Don't know why I would need to now unless something has changed on the server that I don't know about (anyone?). The store is located at http://www.acekartsracing.com.au/agora/store/agora.cgi The error occurs when trying to add any product to the cart. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Bobby

Thanks for the welcome Don!

Nevermind just found my own answer. For anyone else having this problem the putenv function will assist as a workaround. Example, putenv ('TZ=Australia/Melbourne'); Not sure if this function is completely compatible with the list of supported time zones listed on the php website, http://au3.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

Hello everyone, Is there any way of altering the PHP or MYSQL time zone to reflect GMT +10? I notice that my server is running PHP version 4.4.4 which means I am unable to use date_default_timezone_set which requires version 5. I am attempting to timestamp an sql entry with my local time rather than that of the server. Any suggestions?
