Very strange

[labby]

I updated my nameservers to point to Powweb on Thursday. Some people were able to get into my site the next day. I myself who is on Comcast was able to get to the permanent URL this morning, but now I can't. My powweb mail for my site was working this morning also, but now it is not. I can only access my site through the temporary URL given to me by PW. http://labbyworldcom.powweb.com .

I have a php board on my site that I was able to access on the temporary URL http://labbyworldcom.powweb.com/dc/dcboard.php , but now I get this error when I try

Following query failed:
SELECT id, type FROM dcforum

What's going on? Thanks.

Give it another 48 hours for the DNS to fully propagate and everything may be normal.

For the record, I can access your site using your permanent URL here in ND.

But I also get the error when I try to access your DC Board.

Thanks guys. Patience is not one of my virtues. ;)

I can also access your permanent url from Upstate New York. I also get the same SELECT error message when I try your dc board.

It appears you have a problem with the dcforum table in your database, or perhaps it can't find the table. (Maybe the table isn't there!)

That board has been working perfectly up until an hour ago. Why would that change?

OOPs! Sorry, I used the back button and reset. I guess that's not a good thing to do after posting on a forum. It resent my last post.

It sounds like your dcforum table got corrupted somehow. You'll probably need to look at it with whatever program you use to maintain your database. Maybe you'll have to re-create the table.

I use mysql I guess. I'm totally and let me emphasize that TOTALLY mysql dumb and dumber. I wouldn't know where to begin to be honest. Here I was congratulating myself for even getting the board up by myself. Kis off death. :(

[Thunderthud]

You indicated that the board was working about an hour ago. That would imply that someone (or some program) CREATEd the necessary database table(s). Are you using a script from somewhere to create your site.

(Your site looks very nice, by the way. I love Labs & I owned one for 15 years until he died of old age.)

I installed the board using DC Forum+ Basically I just followed directions. (and was shocked quite frankly that it worked the first time I tried it - LOL)

I'm not sure what to do next to fix it so its working again.

[Thunderthud]

Sometimes it is quite shocking when things work right the very first time. I don't know anything about DCFORUM+ but from the looks of your site, it must be a pretty good system. Perhaps someone here can help you with it. I work with php and MySql directly, but I don't know a thing about the packages that put it all together for you. Maybe you'll have to re-install it. But don't do that on my say so. Like I said, I don't know anything about DCFORUM+. Maybe you'll need to get some help from the place you got the DCFORUM program from.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I've asked for help on the DC Forum site too. Hopefully they can help me otherwise I'm going to be SOL.
