dumbdbm

[Brett Irving]

I have a problem with trying to add to a database, I wish to separate
my files from each other with the database files stored in one
directory and all my cgi files in another, however whenever I try to
do this, it keeps appearing with this error. The page works fine when
I stick all the files in one directory.

   AddUser(username,data)

line 41, in AddUser
    users_db = dumbdbm.open('../dbase/mydumbdbm')

    f = _open(self._datfile, 'w', self._mode)
