Well..  I've decided my previous issues with PunBB can be blamed on my host.. so I will get a new one as soon as plausible..

But, the old workaround I had in v1.1 is gone with 1.2..

Now, when I try to access the administration section, I get:

File: /mnt/web_j/d42/s15/a0002mwr/www/forum/admin_index.php
Line: 91

PunBB reported: Unable to fetch online count

Database reported: Lost connection to MySQL server during query (Errno: 2013)


Also, when I try to update my own profile, I get the Bad HTTP_REFFERRER error..


My boards can be found at www.alothor.com/forum

Any help to work around this temporarily would be greatly appreciated!

Great work, otherwise.. smile

... I've been asking for something like this since 1.1.2..  hehe tongue

*update*

I've updated from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3..  same error..

1.1.3 to 1.1.4 same thing. tongue

I haven't yet tried the work around above..  I will when I get a chance.

any news on getting this updated to work with 1.1.4?


A reasonable question! smile

I want to put a small chat box in the footer of forum/index.php

I want it to hold maybe four lines of chat at a time, listing the username of the person whos submited it...


Any help?

Good stuff!

yeah..  exactly.. 

More specifically...  an option where you can choose to allow only moderators and admins to use the avatars..

Or more specifically..  only identified users..

yup...

Only admin_index.php

Everything else seems to be working fine now..  except for that..

::EDIT::

Also ran marcB's suggestion with the value of p_connect in config.php changed..  Same error.

would calling the database connection function *or whatever it's called*  before getting the online count help out?

try 'PHP and MySQL Web Development by Luke Welling and Laura Thompson'

ISBN: 0-672-32525-X

It's a bretty good book..  nice tutorials about most of php and mysql..  goes at a pretty slow pace too..

thanks for the advice.  I'll try that..  see if they can do it..   knowing corporate america, I'll not hold my breath though.


Is there anyway to work around that issue temporarily?

I use netfirms.com as a webhost..  I do not have root access to the mysql server, which is version 3.23.55
I'm new to the whole PHP & mySQL development stuff..   I use phpmyadmin to administer my dbases..   I'll temporarily try MarcB's bypass..

::Edit::
MarcB's bypass did not work.   sad


It's an interesting problem..

Great stuff, this PunBB...

I just installed it, everything works great, but for my little issue..

I click the admin link, and I recieve "Error:  unable to fetch online count"

I know its something simple..

with debugging, I get this error..
