PROBLEM:
When running a web application created with Visual DataFlex 10 (accessing Pervasive.SQL files), the following error gets added to the Windows Application log:
Session failed to initialize: Fatal error occurred during child process
initialization: BTRIEVE: Filename bad FILE.DDF VDF Error#: 21011 in line: 16359.
I can compile and run the application from the Studio but when running the application directly from a browser (e.g. http://localhost/myapp/mainpage.asp) I get the same error.
Could this be a licensing issue? I am running the Connectivity Kits installed with VDF10.
SOLUTION:
It looks like File.DDF cannot be found. It is not a licensing problem.
Remember that mapped drives cannot be used when accessing applications from the browser -- if they are used, the error you described will be generated.
Also make sure your data path includes the path where the correct DDFs can be found -- or you use BTR_PATH and DDF_PATH keywords in the dfbtrdrv.int configuration file -- and there is no rights issue (VDF Web Server has permission to access workspace and Pervasive files) in the mix.
