Almost killed myself over this one!
I kept getting "text file busy" errors in the Apache log (not PHP log) when executing Perl
scripts from PHP.
I did some research and found this can be caused by having the file in use by Samba. I was editing
on my Windoze box, leaving the file open in my editor, and then previewing the result in a browser.
As soon as I stopped accessing the Perl file through Samba (i.e. closing my editor, not displaying
the file in Windoze Explorer), the problem disappeared.
I was sure I had some sort of permissions problem, or wasn't closing a file, or something. But
Samba appeared to be the culprit.
FYI, Samba was writing as root, which DID cause a permissions issue, but I caught that early on and
it didn't solve the "text file busy" error.
Someone please berate me if this seems nuts...
