Can't get in to the "Admin" area

Since I installed the latest version of YaBB, I have only been able to get inside the admin area once.  When I click it, my browser says it's loading, but after about 10 minutes it says the page cannot be found.  This is really a pain.  I need help.

Thanks.

Does it show anything or just keep looking like it's loading?

It just says it's loading, nothing changes. I happen to be in right now, but I have a feeling it's going to happen again.  What might be causing it?

Try if it helps if you comment out all the yabbinfo.xml stuff in the Admin.php.

QuoteNot a bug and you will get more help here

http://www.yabb.info/community/index.php?board=133;action=display;threadid=11550

I got the above quote from a redirect that was filed under 1.4 bugs.
If you have to comment out CODE for something to work how does that not fall under a bug?

Yes the removal of the offending code worked.

i'm having the same prob. By "comment out" do you mean delete completely??

btw, do i comment out the whole path or just "yabbinfo.xml" ?

EG:

$contents = @file ("http://www.yabb.info/yabbinfo.xml");

$fh = @fopen("$boarddir/yabbinfo.xml","w");


 changes to


$contents = @file ("http://www.yabb.info/");


$fh = @fopen("$boarddir/","w");

You can do either remove or comment it out.... since it is NOT a BUG it will probably never be fixed... This is what I did.

At the top of the code

QuoteEOT;
//      $yabbinfo = getYaBBinfo();
//      if (!$yabbinfo)
//      {
//              print "<tr><td colspan=2>$txt[lfyi]</td></tr>";
//      }
//      foreach($yabbinfo as $info){
//              print "<tr><td colspan=\"2\"><font size=\"1\"><a href=\"$info[url]\">$info[subject]</a> | $info[author] | ".timefor$
//              print "<tr><td><font size=\"1\">    </font></td><td><font size=\"1\">$info[details]</font></td>$
//              print "<tr><td colspan=\"2\"><img src=\"$imagesdir/blank.gif\" height=\"6\" width=\"4\" alt=\"\"></td></tr>\n";
//      }
print<<<EOT

and at the end of the code

Quote//function getYaBBinfo()
//{
//      global $boarddir,$db_prefix;
//      $request = mysql_query("SELECT value FROM {$db_prefix}settings WHERE variable='yabbinfo'");
//      $row = mysql_fetch_row($request);
//      if ($row[0] < time()-0){
//              $er = error_reporting(0);
//              $contents = @file ("http://www.yabb.info/yabbinfo.xml");
//              if (!$contents)
//                      return false;
//              error_reporting($er);
//              
//              $completecontent = implode('',$contents);
//              $fh = @fopen("$boarddir/yabbinfo.xml","w");
//              if ($fh)
//              {
//                      @fputs($fh,$completecontent);
//                      $request = mysql_query("UPDATE {$db_prefix}settings SET value=".time()." WHERE variable='yabbinfo'");
//              }
//              @fclose ($fh);
//      }
//      else
//      {
//              $contents = file ("$boarddir/yabbinfo.xml");
//              $completecontent = implode('',$contents);
//      }
//
//      $items = explode('<infoitem>',$completecontent);
//
//      $infoitems = array();
//      for ($i = 1; $i < sizeof($items); $i++)
//      {
//              $tempitem = array();
//              preg_match("/<subject>(.*)<\/subject>/",$items[$i],$matches);
//              $tempitem['subject'] = $matches[1];
//              preg_match("/<url>(.*)<\/url>/",$items[$i],$matches);
//              $tempitem['url'] = $matches[1];
//              preg_match("/<timestamp>(.*)<\/timestamp>/",$items[$i],$matches);
//              $tempitem['logTime'] = $matches[1];
//              $infoitems[] = $tempitem;
//      }
//      return ($infoitems);
//}
?>

Thanks goes to andrea
The orginal poster of the fix/work around/hack what ever you want to call it... But it ain't a BUG.

Course neither is half of the stuff you find in wondows... I think Gates calls those features.

I tried your suggestion and it won't work again.

Quote from: groundup on August 03, 2002, 08:03:50 PMinstead of using // on every line.  use /* */

on another note, i've been getting the following error after hitting the Post button in a thread or PM's:

"Problem Report
 There was a communication problem.
 
Message ID
 TCP_ERROR
 
Problem Description
 The system was unable to communicate with the server.
 
Possible Problem Cause
 
The Web server may be down.
The Web server may be too busy.
The Web server may be experiencing other problems, preventing it from responding to clients.
The communication path may be experiencing problems.

 
Possible Solution
 Try connecting to this server later."


the funny thing is, the Post goes through when i go back and check. what could this be??

It should be "fixed" in 1.4.1 since the yabbinfo.xml stuff is called there with another technique (IFRAME). The admin menu will not hang any longer if a host is not able to load the yabbinfo.xml.
