Best regrds, Rohan URL: http://www.lankalibrary.com/phpBB/ phpBB : Critical Error Error creating new session DEBUG MODE SQL Error : 1016 Can't open file: 'phpbb_sessions.MYI' (errno: 145) INSERT INTO phpbb_sessions (session_id, session_user_id, session_start, session_time, session_ip, session_page, session_logged_in, session_admin) VALUES ('fa3205b4956b629d155e74e825b15e41', -1, 1174913233, 1174913233, '7c2be928', 0, 0, 0) Line : 187 File : sessions.php

Thank you Bruce. Its working now. I just updated the phpbb to new version. This is the second time I got this problem with this directory? Who set these permissions? Is that the user or TCH? Can I change the permissions my self? If yes How? Thanks again, Rohan

YES This directory exist for years. I already tried to have a chat with the helpdesk for 30 minutes but it did not workout! I have sent you the script!

I am trying to install the new version of phpBB. But I can not open the phpBB directory in Public_html/ Why is this? Can somebody please correct this? Domain is: LankaLibrary.com

Thank you. I did this and now it works! Thanks again, Rohan

As advised by the helpdesk I tried to update the PHPBB version 2.0.19 to 2.0.20 (Server 109) I downloaded the files and uploaded them to the corresponding directories. After the update now I have 2 problems: 1) My administrator panel says still I am running the old version 2) Search function is not working anymore: I get the following error message: What have I done wrong? How can I correct this? Thank you in advance, Rohan

This doesnt work. It blocks further posting but dose not delete the posts. BTW, I noticed in my webstat page in the cpanel some stange websites have links to my forum. When I go there I can not find the links. What are these sites? Do they send spam posters?? Some such sites are: - http*//showhappy.info/links.php - http*//cnool.info/links.php - http*//it158.info/links.php - http*//twbbs.info/links.php - http*//ettoday.info/links.php - http*//i-part.info/links.php What are these sites? Best regards, Rohan TCH-Thomas made the links inactive.

http://lankalibrary.com/phpBB/ I am using phpBB. It is an open public forum and any one can post. Sometimes I note many spam postings from the same IP. I delete all spams manually. But this takes time. Is there a faster way to do this? Rohan

Dear all, I get many spam messages posted in my forum (PHP). Deleting these posts cost lot of time. Is there a way to delete all the postings done from one IP address with one click? Best regards, Rohan

Dear TCH, There is a new version of phpBB available 2.0.19. Can you please install this in the cpanel of server 109? Thank you in advance, Rohan

I thought of doing this, but was not sure how to do it. Can I directly download these files to my phpBB directory in the server or should I first download the file to my PC and then upload it to the server. Is it possible to unzip the file in the sever? Rohan

Thanx. I already upgraded the forum to new version. Thank you for doing this within few minutes. Rohan
