Hey guys been running webwiz for years now, running on SQLServer. However the db server went down and the databases have been restored onto a new machine. Its now running and i've updated the connection strings, however the forum is still very broken. Nothing has changed in terms of code, just the location of the db.. (as far as i'm aware) http://www.racekites.com/forum/default.asp - http://www.racekites.com/forum/default.asp Its not picking up the variables for the stylesheet, and am getting loads of errors all over the place.. when openening a forum and geting the following : Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000b' Division by zero /forum/forum_topics.asp, line 447 which is :'Count the number of pages for the topics using FIX so that we get the whole number and not any fractions intTotalRecordsPages = FIX(intTotalRecords / intTopicPerPage) Please help !!  Cheers A |

update : okay looks like i may have found the issue. when calling getForumConfigurationData() found in global_variables_inc.asp it appears that the condition : If isEmpty(Application(strAppPrefix & "blnConfigurationSet")) OR isNull(Application(strAppPrefix & "blnConfigurationSet")) OR Application(strAppPrefix & "blnConfigurationSet") = false OR blnUseApplicationVariables = false Then is set to true, therefore the configuration data is not being populated. have added a line : Application(strAppPrefix & "blnConfigurationSet") = False Which seems to have fixed lots of issues !! |

The problem was that you tried to run the forum before it was connected to the database so the cached database quires didn't work. Change the part back to how it was originally and if it happens again just go to the skin configuration page in the admin area and submit the page forcing the form to re-cache the quires. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Hi b the db connection was up and running, i wrote a test page querying the db which worked fine. It appears that some values were cached in IIS hence the Application object being true. looks like its working now... thank you !!  |
