Subject: (5.12) "cant fopen <newsgroup>/.thread No such file or directory"
Q: nnrpd logs "cant fopen <newsgroup>/.thread No such file or directory" hundreds of times a day although I installed trn-3 and maintain an overview database. Why doesn't trn use overview files instead of mthreads data? A: trn-3 tries to open .thread files (or use XTHREAD) first because $spooldir/db.init still exists. Delete it. ------------------------------ [Source: INN FAQ Part 5 Archive-name: usenet/software/inn-faq/part5] [Last Changed: $Date: 1997/09/16 01:25:56 $ $Revision: 2.25 $] [Copyright: 1997 Heiko Rupp, portions by Tom Limoncelli, Rich Salz, et al.]
