A variety of site problems are showing up. No changes on my part in a long time.

I have spent a fair amount of time looking at the XOOPS FAQ and Forum looking for a solution with no luck. I have manually gone into PHPadmin and tried to repair Xoops Config. I went thru FTP and deleted my caches.

Examples of some issues:
• Can't turn on Debug Mode
• Can't make changes to General Settings example: can't turn site or change slogan
• Can't change new registration on/off
• Private Messages can't be deleted by users
• Several login issues for users
• No dialog box after trying to do maintenance requests
• Can't change RSS on/off preference in xForum
• New posts in the forum do work

XOOPS 2.5.7
System 2.11
PM 1.1
xForum 5.8

PHP Version 5.4.39
MySQL Version 5.6.22-cll-lve

Any help would be great!

xoops cache or browser cache or both?

I had once a similar problem, and it was the browser (Firefox). I cleaned browser cache and restarted browser, then it worked again.

Goffy,

I have done both and deleted my cookies on my browser too. Not saying I even repaired the PHPadmin correctly. PHPadmin is not a strong suite for me.

Thanks

did you try to turn on debug-mode manually:
- goto database (phpAdmin)
- select table config
- change config "debug_mode" from 0 to 1

if debug is working then, post errors.

additionally you can check
- are the cache folders of xoops writeable (xoops_data/caches/...)?
- are the Settings for database connection still valid (check xoops_data/data/secure.php)

Good direction and was able to check on a few.

caches are set
xoops_data>caches>xoops_cache - 0777

secure.php"* XOOPS secure file”
- 0644

I was able to turn debug mode on manually. Common error seems to be:
Error number: 145
Error message: Table './paflyfi1_xoops/xoops_session' is marked as crashed and should be repaired

While in phpMyAdmin it shows that table "in use"

I tried to get into the xoops_session table thru phpMyAdmin and get dialog "'./paflyfi1_xoops/xoops_session' is marked as crashed and should be repaired”. I can’t get into that table. My knowledge of phpMyAdmin and sql stop there. Any suggestions would be great. I would rather ask before I do something stupid. Thanks so far.

Hold on think I found it. Went a little deeper into phpMyAdmin and found a repair selection that seems to have worked.

Looks to be good and will do further testing and report back.

Goffy thank you
