UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? problem

Sorry for posting in an inappriate forum.

My server suffered a nasty hard drive crash. After restoring the data, the database was corrupted, and I had to repair it.
During the repair, I received several error messages, and had to reformat some of the tables using the myisamchk -e option.

End-result: a few usernames were lost. Expected.

What's puzzling me greatly is that a subset of users have been unable to log on. The error that they get, trying to log in, is "Not all the fields are filled in". I really don't understand what could be causing this error. Users are deleting old cookies, clearing cache, requesting new passwords, etc but the problem is persisting for some of them... I'm at my wit's end.

I am successful in logging in as these users... so the problem seems to be local to their PCs. But this is a occurring to enough users (a couple of dozen) that I'm very concerned.

Any ideas?

Max

Sorry to be of no assistance as I havent got a clue about mysql and php, I suffered the same fate a few weeks ago and this is the email I got back after 3 days

Could you please check your forum and confirm whether it's working.

I am unable to do so as you have disabled the forum frontend.

If not kindly specify the error that you get ( w.r.t the error code if any)

Thank you,

I sincerely apologize for the late response, But this was a php security

issue and needed to be dealt with carefully.

Have a good day,


hope it gives you a clue

cheers

Hey Max, was outta town for a week or so and missed this. Did you ask them to delete their cookies and try again?

Hi Allen,

Welcome back!

Yes, deleted cookies, emptied cache, requested new password, and continued to have problems.

It's died down now... but I'm still puzzled at what could have caused the repeated "all the required fields are not filled in" error - I looked at the code, I couldn't figure out how they could be getting that repeatedly.

Regards,
Max
