Advanced Guestbook

[cheval]

I created a guestbook, deleted it, and created another in the same location. Now, two guestbooks show up in "Advanced Guestbook Setup" area in cPanel. The two links are identical, yet there do not seem to be two guestbooks installed. My account information also shows that 2 Mysql databases are taken, but only one should be used because I only created one guestbook. How do I remove the other "ghost" guestbook.

Can you use cPanel's PHPMyAdmin to delete the excess db(s)?

*shrug* I dunno I went into phpmyadmin but I don't see anything that says delete nor do I want to delete the one with the entries since all of them are the same name.

Ok, let me see if I can replicate this tonight and advise you better.

Ok, you have both said that you "deleted" the first guestbook, right? Exactly how did you go about doing that? I have tried to replicate the issue, but am not successful. After creating the guestbook (named: "gbtest"), I went to Manage MySQL in cPanel and deleted the database for lstover_gbtest. I also deleted the USER for lstover_gbtest. Then I went into file manager and deleted the folder in public_html called gbtest.

 

Then, I went to cPanel and added advanced guestbook, again called gbtest and I show only one db being used by it.

 

So, I'm guessing that you guys just deleted the directory for guestbook, but did not delete the Database or Users.

 

Am I way off base here?

Did you set up three Guestbooks in three different Directories?

This is what it shows in the mysql thingy

 

camppain_agbook1

Users in camppain_agbook1

camppain_agbook1

 

Connection Strings

Perl $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:camppain_agbook1:localhost","camppain_agbook1","<PASSWORD HERE>");

PHP $dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "camppain_agbook1", "<PASSWORD HERE>") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db ("camppain_agbook1");  

 

camppain_agbook2

Users in camppain_agbook2

camppain_agbook2

 

Connection Strings

Perl $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:camppain_agbook2:localhost","camppain_agbook2","<PASSWORD HERE>");

PHP $dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "camppain_agbook2", "<PASSWORD HERE>") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db ("camppain_agbook2");  

 

camppain_agbook3

Users in camppain_agbook3

camppain_agbook3

 

Connection Strings

Perl $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:camppain_agbook3:localhost","camppain_agbook3","<PASSWORD HERE>");

PHP $dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "camppain_agbook3", "<PASSWORD HERE>") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db ("camppain_agbook3");  

 

camppain_agbook4

Users in camppain_agbook4

camppain_agbook4

 

Connection Strings

PHP $dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "camppain_agbook4", "<PASSWORD HERE>") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db ("camppain_agbook4");  

 

camppain_xmb1

camppain_xmb1

PHP $dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "camppain_xmb1", "<PASSWORD HERE>") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db ("camppain_xmb1");  

 

And this is what shows when I got to the advanced guestbook link from the control panel

I created an advanced guestbook in the directory "guestbook." Then, using my FTP program, I deleted the entire directory "guestbook." After verifying that the directory had been deleted (it did not show up in cPanel's File Manager), I created a new advanced guestbook with the same name. However, when I go to the "Advanced Guestbook" link in cPanel I get a screen that looks like CAMPPAIN's only I have two identical guestbooks showing. Still, I only show one directory in both my FTP program and cPanel File Manager.
