We are in the process of moving the site to a new server, it's proving to be a slow process. Fingers crossed the site could be back up in the next month or so. A couple of us had a chat whether the site should be saved and we agreed it is worth saving. I don't like Facebook one bit, but as Jim said most of those who posted on the BAI forum pages are posting on our FB page so it could play it's part in the resurrection of the site.

Hi lads, as magnet says we have been having a hard time of late. Our technical expert retired and since then we havnt found anyone with the skills or time. We are now looking at other options. There's a lot of great info buried on the site I'd hate to lose. Plus as said before there's a great core of boat anglers who posted regularly and attended our meets. That's the spirit of bai, bringing the boat angling community together. Hopefully we can get it back.

It looks like a table needs to be repaired.

This may be the easiest way for someone to fix it if they can still upload files but are non-technical

https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtop ... 6&t=589766

Create a fix.php file with the following:

Code: Select all

<?php
    
define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = (defined('PHPBB_ROOT_PATH')) ? PHPBB_ROOT_PATH : './';
$phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);

// Start session management
$user->session_begin();
$auth->acl($user->data);
$user->setup();

$page_title = 'phpBB Fix';

$sql = " REPAIR TABLE $table_prefix" . "s";
$db->sql_query($sql);

?>
Upload the file to your board's root folder (the one with config.php)
Run it by navigating to the file in your browser (ex.http://www.boat-angling-ireland.com/phpbb/fix.php)
Be sure to delete the file; don't leave it on your server

tested this one

again

Create a fix.php file with the following:

Code: Select all

<?php
// Check and repair sessions

define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = './';
include($phpbb_root_path . 'config.php');

echo "Running<br>";

// connect to the database server
// connect to the database server
$db = mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpasswd);
if (!$db) die("Unable to connect to database!\n");

echo "Connected<br>\n";

$repres = mysql_query("repair table ".$table_prefix."sessions");



echo "Repaired ".$table_prefix."sessions"
?>

Upload the file to your board's root folder (the one with config.php)
Run it by navigating to the file in your browser (ex.http://www.boat-angling-ireland.com/phpbb/fix.php)
Be sure to delete the file; don't leave it on your server

Thanks for that jd. Its looking like we will have to move to a managed forum package, where myself and a few other members will pay a certain amount each month to a hosting company. We really don't have anyone left behind the scenes with any level of computer aptitude.
