I am restating my problem with all that I now know.

If I look in the databases folder, I see that there are two file 
storage.sqlite-wal and 
storage.sqlite-shm

The first of these has 0 bytes as its size.
Both of them have the 'wrong' permissions in that they do not include group 
write permissions.
If I change the permissions of the two files, then reload the page, it 
works. 
However I will soon again get the 'unable to open database error', and the 
persmissions will need resetting.

Does anyone have any idea why I am getting these permission issues with the 
WAL file?

I set up a very simple application and WAL worked okay on that, so WAL is 
possible on my system.

If I turn WAL off and go back to DELETE everything works fine, but I am at 
risk of database locking. so I would prefer to be able to use Write Ahead 
Logging.

Thanks for any help
Peter
