I've just recently switched to a new dedicated machine and have noticed this popping up in my error logs since.

PHP Code:

L 08/21/2013 - 20:41:37: [CLIENTPREFS] Failed SQL Query, Error: "attempt to write a readonly database" (Query id 0 - serial 0)
L 08/21/2013 - 20:41:37: [CLIENTPREFS] Failed SQL Query, Error: "attempt to write a readonly database" (Query id 0 - serial 0)
L 08/21/2013 - 20:41:43: [CLIENTPREFS] Failed SQL Query, Error: "attempt to write a readonly database" (Query id 0 - serial 0) 


And also from a plugin I'm running

PHP Code:

L 08/21/2013 - 20:42:35: [itemserver.smx] Problem with query: attempt to write a readonly database
L 08/21/2013 - 20:42:44: [itemserver.smx] Problem with query: attempt to write a readonly database
L 08/21/2013 - 20:42:49: [itemserver.smx] Problem with query: attempt to write a readonly database 


And lastly, this is popping up at the start of the log.

PHP Code:

L 08/21/2013 - 20:41:36: [SM] Unable to load extension "curl.ext": The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail. 


Any ideas what could be causing it?

PHP Code:

Check the permissions to the files in addons/sourcemod/data/. The 2nd error with cURL is due to missing the correct version of the VC++ redistributables, see the extension's thread for details.

Thanks, I've downloaded the VC++ package.

As for the readonly error yes it seems the /data folder has been set to Read-Only. I untick it, but it just restores the Read-Only flag. I'll get in touch with our provider tomorrow and see what we can do.

As far as I know, in Windows, the read-only flag only applies to files not folders, so you might be seeing the state of the contents rather than the data folder itself.
Try unsetting the flag on a file in the folder.

Last I checked, folders can be read-only in NTFS.

And incidentally, unless otherwise specified, in NTFS folders inherit permissions from their parents.

It appears every folder is like that, with the files inside normal. There is no Read-Only flag on any file inside the Sourcemod directory.

D:\Server1tf\addons\Sourcemod

The entire structure is that way. The host recently put our services on their webpanel so perhaps when they set that up they did something.
