Errors when checking in modules

[chand012]

When I check in an existing module I get error messages for each script which uses it of the following form:

106 module_name: Can't touch dependency /WWW/htdocs/db/script: Permission
denied

Evidently this means that the system doesn't have permission to recompile the scripts with the updated version of the module, right? Texis is running as user texis. These are the permission on the .vtx files:

-rw-r--r-- 1 texis texis

Of course, I can just delete the .vtx files and have Texis recompile them on first run, but obviously, I shouldn't have to do that.

What do we need to do?

Thanks,
David

Note the message: the problem isn't .vtx perms but the source file (`script') perms. When checking in a module, older Vortex versions will touch the source file of any targets that depend on that module in order to force a re-compile the next time the target is run. In this case the texis user does not have write permission to the source file `script'.

Add write permission for texis to script source files that use modules. (Later Vortex versions, after Nov. 28 2000, set a flag in the .vtx file instead, so write permission isn't needed on the source files.)
