For a start, upload a fresh copy of the file you edited.

Are you using version 1.1.5 or 2.0b1.3?

 

[Wizet]

I am using version 1.1.5 and I used Christopher's tutorial and his sub.php script. It still wouldn't work for me. It worked just fine yesterday I guess.

Same problem, I can't install any forums.

Could be Exim's fault but I'm not sure, perhaps you can ask Chris and see what's up.

Upgrade your PHP version?

 

[Wizet]

I don't know how upgrading my php version would change but I'll give it a shot.

You truly don't know what Exim does. Don't blame Exim.

PHP version can be changed in the AMP, you need php level intermediate (level 2)

My other forum is gone now. I've made another forum: http://forums.mfhome.x10hosting.com Also if you can see the forum on the first try, then try to click on some other button to see what really happens.

Could you try disabling hostname lookups through Administration?

 

[Wizet]

I can get through administrator. It's still a blank site.

So it's blank after disabling hostname lookups?

 

[Wizet]

I have no idea. The forum is still fresh.

 

[TheMan177]

Try this query with your forum database, change the prefix if it is different.

INSERT INTO smf_settings
VALUES ('disableHostnameLookup', '1');

EDIT: This is assuming the database is from a fresh install, meaning the hostname setting entry doesn't exists. If you get a duplicate entry error, this should work:

UPDATE smf_settings SET value = 1 WHERE variable = 'disableHostnameLookup';

Um can anyone tell what me what I am supposed to do with these codes?

Go into phpMyAdmin and select your smf database. Hit the SQL tab and paste in the query.

How do you get a username and password?

How do you get a username and password?

What do you mean? A username and password for what?

 

[Nathan H]

you can access phpmyadmin from your cPanel in the database section.

 

[Wizet]

Never mind wrong program. Mistaken phpMyAdmin for phpPgAdmin.
