I just installed active users mod to forum and it seemed to work for a minute then crashed. I think the dabse has crashed and am unsure how to access it/ restore it or even if I have a recent backup since I only use ftp.
The first few steps which get you to update dbase may have been the issue. I got the following error message after I selected.
There should be a select form object in the center of the file. Select "Active Users 4.0.1 for Snitz 3.4 compatable" Make sure the checkbox is checked. Click Update! Error message
During -2147217900 | You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'varchar(1) NULL' at line 1
Any idea what went wrong the whole forum is down now and active user mod appeared to work for a short while. <
Undo the file changes you made to get your forum back running again. You need to get a hold of the host since FTP limits you to files and directories.<
what changes do i need to undo? Would the host have more files than me? I can manually change the asp files back again i manually edited during mod. but how to i restore or fix dbase as I beleive this is the problem?<
good news. I changed all the manually edited file back. And it seems to work again. I did not change the dbase as I not sure how to access it. Now I am back to dbase error from post 1 when it tried to update. And how I can safely backup or restore dbase in future. So I can try mods without running into trouble again.
The active user mod seemed good but I am reluctant to try it again with out being able to back up dbase somehow.<
Change of plans now. WHilst I liked the snitz forum it just was not fully compatiable with companys linux hosting. Unfortuantely I will now be converting snitz over to a php forum so no longer require the planned active user mod.
OK, after I have installed the new base forum, I am attempting to add active users, I also get this error when doing a database setup, will this be a problem or should I just change the files and see what happens?
