javascript popup?

arghHH! not again!

hmm still selecting members only topics.  maybe i set it up wrong?  do you need more information about my database?

$result = $db->query('SELECT t.id,t.subject FROM '.$db->prefix.'topics AS t,'.$db->prefix.'forums AS f WHERE t.forum_id=f.id AND f.admmod_only=0 AND t.moved_to IS NULL ORDER BY t.last_post LIMIT 14') or error('Unable to fetch topic list', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());

hmm,  i tried that and now i seem to be pulling topics that are pretty old.  im running ver 1.1.1 with the EAFM.  does that make a difference.

could somebody help me construct a statement?

alrighty!

so i talked to Rickard on the #punbb channel (quakenet) and we solved the problem.

turns my servers date and time was set to like 1999.  this meant it was sending out cookies that should expire in one year.  IE was deleting them because it thought they were old.  fixed the date and fixed my problem.

thanks

hmm, well my board is currently 1.1.1 and i did try fixing it by using the .. to bring it back to the parent directory. 

$pun_root = './forums/';
include $pun_root.'include/common.php';

i tried other things since i know im two directories ahead of the root (besides using just periods).  im still on a windows server so i tried using the / slashes to see if it helped.  still no luck.

<?php
$pun_root = '../../forums/';
require $pun_root.'include/common.php';
?>

but im still getting this same old error.

Warning: main(../forums/include/common.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Inetpub\fatalthugs site\f8redone\content\index.php on line 3

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '../forums/include/common.php' (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in C:\Inetpub\fatalthugs site\f8redone\content\index.php on line 3

ok so i tried clearing cookies and have the levels set to default.  still gave me the same problem.  im pretty sure thats not it either since i had the linux server up for a day and had complaints from other people.

anyway, i can switch from the linux and windows server fairly quickly by simply changing my router to forward port 80 to either one. 

so what i did was make the linux server public. changed the base url.  accessed it from its domain name (www.fatalthugs.com/forum) and still had the same problem.  i was thinking though, in a few days i could just put the linux server up and change the link to the forum saying its down.  id give you guys the link to check it out so you can see whats happening for yourself.

unfoftunatly, we really need it up and working for the weekend.  probably monday ill change it to the linux server and give you guys the link to see for yourself.

thanks for the help so far.

WooHoo!

finally got it working.  rather than mess around with uninstalling the old version of php i just went ahead and downloaded fedora core 1.  its sweet but pretty much the same thing as rh9.

annnnnyway.  still one more little problem i have left.  i figured fixing the database would make that login problem under IE go away but its still happening.  a user will login and see the successfull login screen but never actually login.  im not really sure what the deal with that is.  if you have any suggestions about this one too i would love to hear it.

btw ill admit i asked this php / mysql question on about 4 forums since i needed an answer asap but Rickard was the only guy to give me an answer that worked.

thanks man your amazing.

ohh
im actually switching from windows to linux but your saying if i put 3.0 on the linux box it might work?

ohh k.  well i guess i sorta got it to work.

i basicly entered the smtp address of an older mail server in php.ini.  however, i know the old address i was using worked correctly because i use it with outlook.  i have no idea why it would be so picky.

anyway, i was wondering whats stopping somebody from setting my email address and smtp in php.ini and spamming. or am i missunderstaning something?

hi. sorry the site was down for a bit while i was upgrading my server.

i ran a mysql query.  something like "DELETE * FROM forum_posts WHERE uid=273" or something like that.

heh i guess i should asked first.  but now im totally ready to go with your next suggestion.

thanks
