Server PHP error,and some issues.

Well, I'm gonna play devil's advocate and say that apart from this "incident", he struck me as a nice and particularly helpful fellow.

 

Sure, if that what it takes to keep it all running, no problem.

 

I don't think this problem needs money to be thrown at it to be solved. Just following Macwest or my advice about setting the value on the superadmin account should do the trick.

 

I know, that's the part that sucks so much. I talked to him a lot in the IRC channel, and he really did seem nice...but unless he's on life support now...or something...what he did was really nasty.

 

I really wonder what happened to him...


Whatever truth comes out of this question, though, is a Lose/lose situation.

He could be an evil bastard that ran away. That'd suck.
He could be a good person in VERY serious trouble. That would also suck...

I hope things somehow clear up and get solved.

 

Worst case scenario: Everybody loses their posts and you restart the forum from scratch in phpBB and move these messages to some other directory to archive them.

 

So did you change the value in the config.php superadmin value to 2 then? Can you access this http://www.assemblergames.com/forums/admincp/index.php ?

 

Add this line to the config.php. this will allow you to have permission to access the administrator permissions page, which controls the permissions of other administrators. Once you have that permision add admin permision to user #2 and you should be in.

$superadministrators = '2';


For log reading add this:

$canviewadminlog = '2';

To remove users add this:


$canpruneadminlog = '2';

to quarry from control panel add this:

$canrunqueries = '2';

One thing to note is if these are defined and changed

$admincpdir = ;
$modcpdir = ;

if so your admin module is in a different directory than the default directory

 

Do you have phpMyAdmin?, follow this:

First, go to "user" table (1) then press on "Browse" (2):




Second:



A: Encrypted password

B: 6 is admin group

C: 2 are normal users group

Go to 3 (edit) and ...




Change "usergroupid" value (4) or copy & paste your "encrypted password" (A) on "password" value (5) for "cjpc" user. Then press "Go" (6).

Finish!!!
