I had 5.2 working and I removed my 5.2 installation and installed 5.4 on a
UnixWare 7.1.4 and an OpenServer 6.0.0 which is based on UnixWare 7.1.4.
I have been running Interchange on UnixWare for many years.  I can not
figure out what has changed.  I get this in my error.log.

198.60.105.176 zGUVFuu3:198.60.105.176 - [24/March/2006:03:05:26 +0000]
test1 /cgi-bin/test1/admin/index.html Runtime error: access import into
failed: Could not lock file: Bad file number

In debug.log I see...

Importing access table from
/usr/local/interchange/catalogs/test1/products/access.asc

and in /usr/local/interchange/catalogs/test1/products/...

# l /usr/local/interchange/catalogs/test1/products/acc*

IC creates it once but never removes it or changes the date/time stamp.
It is always created once I delete it when I try to go into the admin.
The regular store works.  I am using perl 5.8.7  See below for perl -V

I created a start file to try and debug this.  I have it with and with out
the PERL_SIGNALS.  See below...

Customer Entrance works but Admin fails.  The apache log shows this(which
I expect when something fails).

[Fri Mar 24 12:40:34 2006] [error] [client 198.60.105.144] Premature end
of script headers: /usr/lib/apache/cgi-bin/test1

I am not sure where else to look or What to try?.  Which routines may have
changed.  I know that creating/using user accounts with passwords works.

I tried looking at the changes in the change log but they did not help.  I
must be over looking something obvious.  I even made all directories in
the test1 catalog and below 777 just for testing and it did not help.

Could some share some ideas?

Thanks,
