Topic: Error: Unable to fetch category/forum list.

I am getting this error on my forums:

An error was encountered
Error: Unable to fetch category/forum list.

I have NO clue why. My forums have been running fine up til now and am wondering why it would suddenly have this problem. What does this error mean and why could it have happened?

I looked at the database with phpMyAdmin and don't notice anything wrong. Whats the category/forum list? I have the forums table in the database. Please help.

My forums is located here: http://www.programming-designs.com/forums/

Edit: I enabled debug mode and this is what the error says:

File: C:\Accounts\programm\wwwRoot\forums\index.php
Line: 51

PunBB reported: Unable to fetch category/forum list

Database reported: Can't create/write to file 'C:\DOCUME~1\mysql\LOCALS~1\Temp\#sql_298_0.MYD' (Errcode: 17) (Errno: 1)

Is this a problem on the server side? Would I need to contact my host about this?

Yeah, it seems your host screwed up some DB settings ^^ So it's best to contact them.

Just got the same problem, and since I dont know anything about databases and such I'm asking for help here tongue
I enabled debug mode and got this error:

An error was encountered
File: /hasd/local/home/d00000/forum.bjguild.com/index.php
Line: 42

PunBB reported: Unable to fetch category/forum list

Database reported: Got error 28 from table handler (Errno: 1030)

Is there any geek out there who knows how to fix this? smile

Thanks

Contact your host. The disk where the DB is stored is full.
