Topic: Error: Unable to fetch category/forum list.
Anyone know how to fix this problem? It just occured today! 
Re: Error: Unable to fetch category/forum list.
I'm guessing it's a crashed table, but to be sure, you have to enable DEBUG mode so we get a more descriptive error message.

An error was encountered

PunBB reported: Unable to fetch category/forum list
Database reported: Unknown column 'c.cat_name' in 'field list' (Errno: 1054)
Re: Error: Unable to fetch category/forum list.
ThoR: There's something wrong with your database. Do you have access to a database administration tool such as phpmyadmin? See if the categories table has a field called cat_name.

Re: Error: Unable to fetch category/forum list.
Do you get "Unknown column 'c.cat_name' in 'field list'" as well? In that case, can you do what I asked ThoR to do earlier?

Error 28: No space left on the device
You're out of space for your mySQL databases. 
Re: Error: Unable to fetch category/forum list.
i have space look plz

Re: Error: Unable to fetch category/forum list.
The space given for SQL databases is different then the overall web hosting space
ie: my geocities site gives me 10mb worth of MySQL database space, but much more for the actual web pages.
Re: Error: Unable to fetch category/forum list.
mine its not in geocities but are you sure that the eror are in the sql space ?
Re: Error: Unable to fetch category/forum list.
i get this error only when i add new category and clicking in forums in admin panel !
but when i go back and after deleting the new created directory i can see admin_forums panel !

Yes, since that's what the error you got is about: you're out of space.
Re: Error: Unable to fetch category/forum list.
