This is probably really simple but I don't know how to fix. I have two processes that access the same sqlite3 db file using php. Process 1 starts first and is loading data in spurts into the db. Process 2 cannot access the db oto get data even when Process 1 is not doing anything. All file have the same unix permissions and are running under user.
Any help would be appreciated -rwxr-xr-x 1 user staff 5149 Nov 15 18:08 Process 2 -rw-rw-rw- 1 user staff 142910464 Nov 15 18:15 db.sql3 -rwxr-xr-x 1 user staff 7976 Oct 31 19:24 Process 1.php PHP $db_conn = new PDO('sqlite:'.
