PunBB Forums — PunBB 1.3 troubleshooting

Need help!

null@example.com (liaemars) — Mon, 16 Jul 2018 14:39:57 +0000

I am a member on a PunBB 1.3.2 board. It isn't my board but I have a web design background and know more code and software stuff than the board owner. I have admin access. The board is set to members only, guests can't see anything but the sign-on screen.

Recently the board is seeing a huge number of guests, it had 90 a few days ago. This seems odd. The owner pays a web host to have the site at a certain bandwidth level. thị trường bất động sản The owner has been hitting the limit and we believe it is something to do with all the guests. The host suggested it may be some kind of hack or something going on against the board.

Do any of you have any suggestions as to how to fix this situation? Have any of you heard of a similar thing? Could it be some bots trying to scan the site and hammering it?

Thanks to any who can help.

Player having to login twice, cookie error.

null@example.com (mrblimack) — Sat, 16 Jun 2018 16:35:32 +0000

Hi,

I recently migrated my website from one server to another (note that the new server has a different timezone and is no longer dedicated)

I didn't had any problem before the migration, but since then players have to login twice so it works.

The first time, they have that error: "You appear to have logged in successfully, however a cookie has not been set. Please check your settings and if applicable, enable cookies".

If I open new incognito window on any browser, and then log in, I have the error, if I reoppen the website (without closing the window) it works. If I disconnect and reconnect (without closing the window) it works.

This is where the error message is triggered :

if ($forum_user['is_guest'] && isset($_GET['login']))
message($lang_common['No cookie']);

Does someone knows if I might have forgot to do something?

Thank you,
mrblimack

The problem is:
One user have delete his messages from db. I have manually restore his topics and posts by SQL requests.

His restored posts in the topics created by other users displayed well.

I can't understand whats wrong with a restored topics. Or why I have a subj.

Solved. The problem was in the field "topics.moved_to" it have to be NULL but it was just empty.

Database reported: Duplicate entry '435135' for key 'PRIMARY' (Errno: 1062).
Failed query: INSERT INTO pun_posts (poster, poster_id, poster_ip, message, hide_smilies, posted, topic_id) VALUES('Lyle', 2, '74.103.176.2', 'wwqwq', 0, 1376869792, 67740)

I have searched the db and Post ID 435135 does not exist. Version 1.3.5

Not sure what to do here. I have tried a bunch of manual resets and deleted a bunch of new posts to no avail.

Users cannot post or reply. New posts do get logged, but get the same error. Replies to not get logged at all..

Help.

Hello,
I just upgraded to PunBB 1.3.6, and I must have overlooked character encoding somewhere, because my forum does not display Arabic correctly.
What should I do to fix that?

Admin pagination problem

Members and guest have 10 topics and posts per page (as set in the pagination options), but as an admin I only got 3.
Where should I look to get this straight ? Did I miss something in the config file ?

MySQL database unproportionally large

null@example.com (Ole Juul) — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 08:10:56 +0000

I'm running PunBB 1.3.4 and MySQL Improved 5.0.95 and I notice that on this very low traffic forum that the database is much larger than any of my other databases. There are not very many posts, yet the "posts" table is 48.1MB for only 112 records.

What could be causing this and what can I do to fix it?

Two other tables are very large. Search_matches is 48MB with 12,448 records. Also "search_words" is 14MB with 10,040 records. What are those tables for anyway?

Removing a Ban Manually from Database

null@example.com (MBMedia) — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 15:14:06 +0000

I've got a user that was falsely banned via the Akismet plugin. However, the admin side won't remove the ban. When I click to remove it I just get a blank page. At first I just told him to make a new username, but then realized Akismet banned the IP too, so that doesn't help much!

So my question is, can anyone give me some advice, or better yet instructions, for how to remove the ban manually from the database? Of course, I could just poke around until I found it and delete it, but I feel that I should get some better advice first so that I don't create any bad side effects that break the site when I start deleting data from the database!

Any tips, large or small, would be appreciated!
