You could try the following, entered using a tool such as phpMyAdmin:

Code: Select all

REPAIR TABLE phpbb_categories, phpbb_forums;
Try to take a backup first if possible. If the problem continues you need to contact your host - this is a mySQL issue.

The problem is that while I know a little php , I'm a total morron when it comes to php :s

So you tell me to backup and then restore the database?

Or don't use Lycos at all :wink: ... But seriously, if the database is full, your best bet would be to contact Lycos.

To answer your question, pruning would eliminate some space, but I wouldn't recommend it. Each record is roughly 1.5k (give or take), so you're not talking about that much, and it's my experience that user's aren't too happy when you start pruning posts - even older ones.

I would ,but I need a free acount with php support!


have the users a limited space in the database? if so then purging it won't help that much...

EDIT: I tried to repair the tables, but it doesn't change anything

backup the database (if you hant done so already) and set up your database at www.freesql.org
then modify the config.php file to point to that database instead of the lycos one.

I too am facing the same problem and with lycos too.

I modified like that:

Code: Select all

$dbms = 'mysql';

$dbhost = 'freesql.org';
$dbname = 'limal_db';
$dbuser = 'limal21';
$dbpasswd = 'xxxxxxxxx';

$table_prefix = 'phpbb_';
But then how doI restore the db? When I change it Idon't have access to the admin panel at all!

what about if I start afresh with the Lycos site. So lets say I copy the phpBB2 directory into my space and go to the install directory and try to link it directly from there to freesql.org.

How would I go about it? freesql offers mysql v4.

what should I fill in for the following fields:

Database Configuration
Database Server Hostname / DSN: ???
Your Database Name: (ok this i know since i created at freesql.org)
Database Username: (ditto)
Database Password: (ditto)
Prefix for tables in database: phpbb_

Admin Configuration
Admin Email Address:
Domain Name: ??? lycos or freesql
Server Port: ???
Script path: ???
Administrator Username:
Administrator Password:
Administrator Password [ Confirm ]:


before clicking on "start Install"...?
Locked
