i've had all sortsa continued errors lately (url=https://ubbdev.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php/ubb/get_topic/f/26/t/002969]here[/url]), and im flippin out right now :crazyfacewithangerandstuff:

my CP loads, complete with login script. i enter my screen name and password and get the following:

Code
Sorry, we have no one registered with that name. Use your browser's back button to try again. () 

» Use your browser's back button to return.
what are the possible reasons i could be getting this?

my cgi-bin is CHMODed to 755, my Members directory is at 777 and my admin login file (00000002.cgi) is at 777.

make sure you're members path is set, you'll have to ftp in to change it, but make sure it's right
Posted By: drkknght Re: not recognizing ANY members (??) - 11/02/2003 5:49 AM
in the vars_config file, you mean?
Posted By: Ian Spence Re: not recognizing ANY members (??) - 11/02/2003 5:52 AM
yeah, and make sure you open the board via the vars file also
Posted By: drkknght Re: not recognizing ANY members (??) - 11/02/2003 6:11 AM
it all says:

Code
%vars_config = (
q!CGIPath! => q!/www/r/robkamphause/cgi-bin!,
q!AdminLogging! => q!NO!,
q!NonCGIURL! => q!http://www.robkamphausen.com/ubb!,
q!CachePath! => q!/www/r/robkamphause/htdocs/ubb/cache-B85Z8HBX!,
q!Cookie_Number! => q!2452759.0723!,
q!BBName! => q!Rob's Damn Board!,
q!VariablesPath! => q!/www/r/robkamphause/cgi-bin!,

q!cache_pw! => q!B85Z8HBX!,
q!NonCGIPath! => q!/www/r/robkamphause/htdocs/ubb!,

);


1;
as far as i know, thats all right

bah!

and i just reuploaded hello.cgi to test the paths to perl, and that seems to check out, too.

very aggravating. i have no clue whats causing all the hubbub.

the party continues!

i changed and emptied my vars file a bit so that, when uploaded, i was prompted with that main screen where you get to edit all of your info and configuration stuff.

once i clicked on submit, i got this error:

Code
Software error:
Undefined subroutine &main::CPHeader called at cp_lib.cgi line 101.
For help, please send mail to the webmaster ([email protected]), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.
now what?

gettin desperate here.

tried creating a test board, with a cgi-bin folder inside my cgi-bin folder and a ubb folder inside my ubb folder.

since i don't have the 6.5 clean files anymore, i downloaded the new 6.6.1

installed and tested -- seems to be working fine.

so... what the heck does this mean for me? why can't i get my current boards to work?
Posted By: drkknght Re: not recognizing ANY members (??) - 11/02/2003 9:33 AM
mm. looks like im startin from scratch. shocked

deletin everything but threads and members and uploading 6.6.1 files. my boards have been inactive for almost 72 hours, so, i figured it can't get any worse than it is already. if this doesn't work, at least it wont be working in the latest version :rolleyes:

fingers crossed!
Posted By: Brett Re: not recognizing ANY members (??) - 11/02/2003 3:29 PM
subroutine &main::CPHeader is located in Templates/cp_common.pl. Are you sure this file is uploaded?

Hey drkknght, have the same problem, all user were displayed as unregistered and cannot login into cp.cgi because->
"Sorry, we have no one registered with that name. Use your browser's back button to try again. "
but all memberfiles are complete on the server, so i don´t know what causes this error.
Have u found out how to solve the problem?

great caeser's ghost ... i think i fixed it!

... and im not even entirely sure how. lemme detail as best as i can remember:

1) i deleted roughly 8,000 files to fit under my hosts' new 15,000 file limit.

2) once i regained upload access, i tried patching my boards together with backup copies of the files. didn't work.

3) got desperate, downloaded the 6.6.1 version of the boards, and uploaded that, replacing my files.

4) those files seemed to go in and sanitize my server, and worked as they should

5) realizing things now worked on my boards, i decided to reupload all of my 6.5 saved copies of files, overwriting the 6.6.1 ones.

6) that seemed to work, though how and why, i have no idea. at least it ensured all of my 6.5 files had the proper permissions and such (despite my checked that they did before)

7) i was then able to enter my 6.5 CP (tho the boards were still messed up), close my boards, put up a "we're broken" sign, and run the maintenance deals.

8) i got a few odd errors, but kept goin anyway.

9) i noticed the php accel stuff was causing a bunch of glitches, so i shut that off. that got my boards back.

10) i reset all my forum settings, then tested out my boards again... and all seemed to be a-ok!

11) this morning, i reworked the accel stuff, and even that seems to work now

12) i still have NO clue what happened and why, but they boards are working now (despite being a bit clunky and missing quite a few odd files, like certain member accounts)

dunno if this helps anyone

Ouch, 15000 file limit? lol our bbs alone beats that, let alone content... that's stupid, they should let you have as many friggen files as you want so long as you're using their disk space...
Posted By: drkknght Re: not recognizing ANY members (??) - 11/03/2003 5:44 PM
yeah, i have no idea why my host has a (seemingly small) file limit (something that didn't exist, at least to my knowledge, before this week).

monitoring file size and bandwidth, i can understand. but file amount?

that is whats forcing me to either change servers or move on to ubbthreads

Switch hosts, your current one is ridiculous.
