phpBB : Critical Error
Error creating new session

:But not possible to post new topics yet. At least all information is back, enough for today I guess :) [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 20:30, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
Doing a TRUNCATE and REPAIR of ''phpbb_sessions'' should fix the problem. --[[User:Joksnet|Juan Manuel]] 13:10, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
== Restoring status ==* I downloaded the database and I downloaded all files in the root directory. There are a lot of directories and :Fixed it's lot of work to recover the files in there one by one. Which directories definitely need to be fetched? [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 20:06, 10 June 2010 (UTCagain)* I just checked, I don't have write permissions for most files, I might be able to do stuff through PHP scripts though and I can fix stuff in the database (such as the forums which are back now, well at least readable)phpMyAdmin.

== The domain name? ==
What can we do?
WalterHeck ===Re- 11 Jun 2010: we could try enabling posting===Been checking out MySQL tables, phpnuke and hunt down his family and see if they are willing to help us phpbb, but didn't get ownership of the domain name? Wefar yet. There'd need s also a death cert for bug that I presume? The whois has a phone number in it's stopping me. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 23:42, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
Walter: Is this happening on digihitch.com or on a mirror?: Can users login? I think they intentionally disabled it on the main site, so probably it's just a flag in the settings. But anyway, we shouldn't re-Hecksenable it on the original site without talking to hikecrazy. -MacBook-Pro[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 09:~ olindata$ whois digihitch26, 22 June 2010 (UTC):: yeah, it is possible to login and also to post an entry in your diary.

>>> Last update With my access I can't see anything in the server root over FTP, but over PHP I can. I'm using PHP File Manager now but with that I can only download file by file, which is not feasible with the number of files that are around, spread over many directories. The software has an archiving functionality, but it's not working. Ideally something from here: http://www.hotscripts.com/category/php/scripts-programs/file-manipulation/file-management/ would be able to do it, anyone has more experience with any of whois databasethese? [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 23: Fri42, 11 Jun 13 June 2010 (UTC): Maybe you can try to write a little php-script, that just puts everything in one big zip-file :) --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 09:28, 22 June 2010 03(UTC):36:08 I was hoping someone can point me to such as little php script ;) Also, I suspect http://php.net/zip might not be turned on on the server - I tried zipping stuff with some PHP file manager but that didn't work. Maybe we can have a session together to figure this out and to hopefully get copies of all files. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 11:44, 22 June 2010 (UTC <<<)

Main Digihitch people are in touch with Morgan's wife - but it will take time. The main thing to find out right now is: what is needed to transfer a domain name from a deceased person to someone else at GoDaddy? [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 20:20, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
