Re: Cannot Lock database file error

Make sure your data/lock directory is Writeable and delete any files under it.

Apply the above to the directory data/submissions and all its files, must be writables.

Re: Cannot Lock database file error

For sure you have something wrong with your installation. Try making all the data/* writables 777 and test.

These are the only possibilties if your installation was done correct. May be some files corrupted during your FTP or download.
