I cannot log off.

I cannot log off. And since the board says it's disabled, members can't get on either.
I went from subsilver2 to a new x-treme style. The forum was working fine, until I wanted to add a new shout box. I went backwards on the install to remove it, but, now I can not log off, and the message remains: This board is currently disabled at the top where it says Logout. Help please ? I have no idea which, or what part to correct. I have cleared everything in the cache, and in the folders through the ftp up loader. Oh, and I can get into the admin panel, board settings, I can post, and go through the forums, and listings.I can click either yes, or no, and hit the submit button. It Makes no difference at all.
I am using 3.0.7.
I do not know which file to replace or repair.
I have a screen capture. I forgot I have to post it on line first, and link it. If needed I will also do that. Here is a link to my forum.

In fact you are logged out. If you try anything which is shown on the index page, you need to login. So it has something to do with the index page. Simply try another browser or empty the cache from the browser you use.

So root/index.php

and styles/yourstyle/template/index_body.html

How does it looks like, if you change your style ie. to prosilver?

Ok. Then go to your phpMyAdmin and clear the phpbb_sessions table (not delete!) and see what happens then (also clear the cookies).

Hey Denny,

In phpMyAdmin, when you select your forums database, you should see a lot of fields starting with phpbb_. Eventually, you'll see phpbb_sessions.

Now, there are a series of icons to the right of this. You'll see one with a trash bin on it. When you mouse over it, it should say "Empty." Click that one. Alternatively, you can select the check box next to phpbb_sessions, scroll down to the bottom and look for a drop down that says "With selected:" Click it and select "Empty."

You want to stay away from the red X mark or the "Drop" action as that would delete the table and that is not what you want. You can to clear or empty it.

I hope that this helps.

Thanks,

Patrick

ok, sessions, now showing sessions. I have 4 pages. I have the check boxes checked. I see the trash bin at the top. Now I hit empty for all 4 pages ?

Ok, I did that, did not make any difference. My data base backup will not help either because when they do those, it deletes the privious backup, so the backup would be what I have now.

I got it, after looking, and comparing files. I kept thinking, it has no connection with the forum. So, I thought when you want to send a change, it has to connect to something to do that. Or the change does not occur. I uploaded my core.files. Makes sense now. No core, no apple. It's back to normal now. I wanted to fix this problem, and not just upload a new forum.
Thanks for all the help from you guys also. It helped me in thinking of file checking, and got my mind on track to find it.

[Patrick]

Thanks for the reply, Denny. I'm glad that you got it sorted.

Clearing the sessions table isn't an odd thing and it doesn't really hurt your forums in any way. Sometimes, the sessions table will become corrupted and the easiest way to fix it is to clear the sessions table. So, no worries.

Thanks,

Patrick

Thanks Patrick. I thought I would add this, because, Others have said there is no such files unless...blah blah...and so on. And those should not keep the phpbb forum from operating. Well, It sure did on mine.
My reply to that was, you know on your own computer, you can un-hide things in the folder ? Well, if you don't un-hide these, you will not see them, and, you can not save them.
When I did the complete backup of my forum, when it was working good, on the download through filezilla. I simply un-hid all files to be downloaded, and that is how I got the core.17777-32673 files. 4 file folders, 63 MB each. That is what I uploaded again to get the forum to work.
I refreshed my forum each time I uploaded a file. After the 3rd file upload, the forum straightened up. But, I loaded also the forth. Now all is back to normal. So yes, it does keep the phpbb forum from operating correctly.

I just wanted to explain this since this forum has helped me so much already, and the members, including you Patrick, have always treated me in a very good way.
Thank you very much for all help.
Denny

Thanks for sharing that, Denny. I don't really know what those files would do, but glad that you got it sorted! Our pleasure on the treatment - it's what this community is all about!

Thanks,

Patrick
