Craft error on NFS filesystem I have a Craft 2 install that's been working fine until recently when the admin page is giving an error: 

file_put_contents(): Exclusive locks are not supported for this stream

The front end is fine.

It seems (according to https://docs.craftcms.com/v3/config/config-settings.html) that NFS filesystems do not like Exclusive Locks, and the host uses NFS (the webserver the site is on connects to a backend filer via NFS to read the actual webfiles) 

so I have tried changing

/config/general.php

so that useFileLock is set to 'false' but this hasn't changed anything. 

Thanks in advance!
Two things:


Make sure you're using false the boolean and not 'false' the string.
After you change useFileLocks to false, clear the craft/storage/runtime/cache folder as I believe that setting is cached for whatever the cacheDuration config setting is set to.
