Should I re-install YaBB SE + data base?

[savavn]

  Should I ?
 
 coz so far i got so many problems ( someone might think not neccessary, but I do really feel uncomfortable w/ this )

 - Detailed Version Check not working

 - Repair Boards/Topics not working

 - Can't add any new membergroups

 - [img ]http://[ /img] tag doesnt work ( I got to add width + height to it to make it work )

  - and I can't setup another board in my account, to test if I can restore or not. I've tried with several hosts like multimania, coolfreepage, and they all gave me : Can not use database name... Connected succeed by the way .

 - ... umz thaz it

 Anyone can advise me ?

Can you provide us with some mre information about your board please.  How long has it been installed and has it always given you these problems?  What verision is it?  Is your host running in safe mode?  Do you have access to phpMyAdmin?  Are any errors given when trying to do things you listed as not working?

 um

 

• my board has been installed for 3 months

 
• someone somehow i dont know, i'd call it as hack, hack my forum once, and then I gotta delete the part showing database name/user/pass in Admin.php

 
• after that I started to have some problems when adding new membergroups, and changing my "Forum Preference and Settings" function through Admin Panel. Can't add new membergroups, and each time I change sth in "Preference n Settings", immediately get erroes, so I have to do it by modifying Settings.php in my drive, then upload it, like that

 
• its version is 1.3.0

 
• i really dont have any idea if its runnning in safe mode or not, i dont quite understand 'bout this

 
• i dont use phpMyadmin

 
• Erroes

 - Detailed Version Check : Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 4194304 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 737280 bytes) in /usr/home/v/e/veoclub/public_html/forum/Sources/Display.php on line 353

 - Can't add new membergroups, coz it auto disappears after that, even Admin.php CHMOD to 666, folders to 777

Here's a few things you can do to see if you can save it...

1) Download the safe mode version of 1.3.0 and the bugfix pack and overwrite the sources, this will ensure that no hacker has altered code and 1.3.1 will ensure that all the known bugs are fixed.

2) Backup your board using my backup script: http://www.yabb.info/community/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=7224, it contains instructions in the ZIP file.

If you want to know whether you run in safe mode create a file called phpinfo.php with this as the contents

Code Select Expand

<?phpphpinfo();?>

Upload it and call it through your browser and scroll down a until you find the part where it says safe_mode, it the adjacent columns it will say whether it's on or off.
Safe mode is just a way for hosts to stop potentially bad actions carried out users (such as accessing another users webspace).

See if that helps

1. I've checked, safemode is off

2. unfortunately I've modified most of the Source files, so if I overwrite the Source files now I'll have to do it again right ? gonna take much long (

2. yeh, i've got ur backup manager script , but never tried restoring

Have you tried talking to your host about that memory error?
