I think this is not an error by XS, but it's my hosting's fault. But since they continue to say that this is due to the "scripts" I have in my webspace (my webspace contains only phpBBXS) and since I am not a programmer, I post it here, maybe someone of you could give me an idea of what the problem could be and where to look for it...

Please, contact the webmaster. Thank you.

(I hate my hosting :x One day works, one day not. Puah. Oh, if you have a reliable hosting service to suggest... -.-')

I tried to replace functions.php and I empted both phpbb_config and phpbb_themes... no result.

There where many corruptions in the database due to... ehm... "fatality" :mrgreen:


Solved, you can close this.

Ah yes, I have had similar problems in the past with tables being corrupted, for no apparent explanation. Although not directly relate to your problems, its worth noting that sometimes problems arise from the use of MyISAM tables in phpbb, couple with the declaration of using mysql type="mysql4" (in config.php, made when installing phpbb/phpBBXS). This tells mysql that it can try "rolling back" transactions, but MyISAM tables do not support it. Really phpbb (and phpBBXS) only ever need mysql type="mysql", as also mentioned here: http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=2496632#2496632 (and some explantaion http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0...nal-tables.html).

For hosts, I would recommend trying out www.hostultra.com. They are quite cheap - although in the free and Mini cPanel package you do not get htaccess. That is not a problem now though, as there are no more remote file inclusion possibilities (which is what the htaccess file provides additional protection from) if you apply all the latest patches. From experience, hostultra have been very reliable, fast servers, and quick to reply to help requests, even on the cheap Mini cPanel (not sure about free though!).
