Forum messed up

[Man U Walk]

I go to load my site, and this appears: http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l516/manuwalk/EB7669CC-904E-4906-9825-DE334AAA5655-472-000001802107D5AA_zps04c59dd1.jpg [nofollow]

Please help.

My site: http://spongegod.tk/index.php [nofollow]

My host isn't doing ******all about it and they told me to contact the software developers.

Did you do anything, just before this started happening?

Installed a mod, or anything?

Silly question... Do you have a recent backup?

[Oldiesmann]

When I visit the site as a guest, I get a database error message, so I suggest figuring that out first.

I installed menu editor lite, and I think that gave me the error, but once I removed it again, I still had the error. :/

And I don't have a backup.

You MIGHT be lucky, if Oldiemann's suggestion doesn't help.

Your problem lies in main.php, as the error suggests. Your forum is not broken, just a major coding error somewhere. If you have the mod information, you can easily *unparse* it.

How do I do that?

And K@, I already removed all my mods hoping it would work, but still got the error.

Try going to your site's CPanel>Databases>MySQL® Databases and repairing the database.

Done. It said everything was OK... But it isn't...

I removed it again

How did you do that? Did you delete it, or uninstall it?

I had to delete it using the cp because I can't access the site due to some stupid database error.

[Kindred]

right....  and DELETING the mod file has now put you ins a bad condition...
because deleting the mod package does NOT uninstall it.

So, now you have mods installed without having the mod file to review on how to manually uninstall it.

Go to the mod site here...  go to the mod page, click manual parse and then do those steps in reverse to MANUALLY remove the mod.

Have you tried this, as yet?

There are no files in the backup folder, plus I don't want anymore mods installed. I just want this database error sorted, because I wouldn't want to have to remake my entire site again due to some dumbass database.

[kat]

In that case, Kindred's suggestion's probably the best way to go.

Go to the mod site here...  go to the mod page, click manual parse and then do those steps in reverse to MANUALLY remove the mod.

[Shambles]

I'd be tempted to ftp the mod package back to the server, then use the uninstall option from within the package manager.

[kat]

Good finkin', if he can actually get into the forum. I don't think he can, though.

[Man U Walk]

This is confusing, I don't understand, and I really don't want to loose all my files, but I guess I'll just have to start from scratch...

[kat]

You could do this. But, you WILL lose all your mods. They'll still be in "Packages". They'll just need to be reapplied.

Trouble is, I'm not 100% sure it'll even fix the error. "Database error" isn't terribly helpful, I'm afraid.

Anything relevant in the server server logs?

That is tough Man U Walk,

If you get stuck and want a hand I would be happy to take a look at the configuration for you.
