if the files and folders are write enabled then i would try reuploading the database and try a compact and repair, it maybe damagedand corruptted.

but if they are within the write directory you shouldn't have any roblems as boRg said

I am having the same issue, and I understand the simple solution,although the webhost insists its read/writeable, and when i go in usinga ftp program, the properties show the same thing.

Is there anything else that needs to be fixed?  I read something about the DNS setting?

The webhost - OC-Net.com, has horrible tech support and customerservice - its only 9-4, M-F...   Any suggestions on who Ishould advise my friend to switch to?

Thanks for your time.

You need to place the database in a folder that has write permissions enabled.

Contact your web hosting company.

I loaded the forums on a new host, and while it worked great on the other host, the new host is having issues.

It seems that it isn't recognizing the login info of the users, or anything in any of the tables.

My developer friend says I need to make the database updatebale.

What does this mean, and how do I do that?
