Error -- Could not open ../htdocs/uploads/lock to write file lock

A lock is a file which is written before modifying the data and removed afterwards to prevent corruption by two simultanious processes. The directory, ../htdocs/uploads/ has been defined on lines 6and 7 of the /www/webteacher/cgi-bin/webdata_faq.cgi script.
The /www/webteacher/cgi-bin/webdata_faq.cgi script must have read/write permissions to that directory in order to place the file lock.

You can disable the file lock on the "customize pages" screen.
