The problem is that I'm working with someone else's bulletin board script so I've got to use that to rebuild the database. When I tried this before I wasn't successful and I wasn't sure whether this was because I'd not been rebuilding it in the correct way or just that some versions of 4.1 of BerkeleyDB are so slow where there are over 1,500 messages (I have just under 4,000) according to the test script I ran. This seemed to be borne out by the test results I got just building a simple DB_File.
Although I'm only running the VM as a test server and not as a production one I'd prefer to have a more efficient version of BerkeleyDB if possible. I'll have another think about this. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Raven Sent: Monday, November 12, 2007 5:28 PM To: Active Perl Subject: RE: Berkeley DB Problem with DB_File Eric Robertson <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Many thanks for the reply, Brian. > > As well as trying to read the same database files on both machines I > should have mentioned that, knowing that there are differences > between how different versions of Berkeley DB produce the files, for > example those on Windows and Linux machines, I also tried to rebuild > the database from scratch on the virtual machine but this failed. > > If I understand you correctly you're saying that if I ensure that the > DB_File running on both machines is the same then this might solve my > problem.

Before trying that, I would try recreating the db using the latest version. It would involve dumping the db in some suitably independent form (e.g. text) using the earlier version, which can be read and used to write a new db using the later version. If that is not too much work, it would be safer than trying to copy files from one perl installation to another.
