Topic: [SMF 2.0 HELP] Requesting Help Setting up site

[Everis]

Not sure if I am doing this in the correct spot. I am having a horrible time getting this thing set up. Every time I turn around and do something, another thing goes wrong. Can one of you helpful SMFHelper people lend me a hand?

I can help also if you need.

You can have 1 billion errors keep appearing at times but it can be a result of 1 or 2 things. So that's why if they are repeating errors we tell people to post each of the errors once (so if you have 100 error messages and they are 5 different errors repeating just post those 5) and then also attach your current files that the error says the problem is in.

It would be best we get the errors fixed BEFORE trying to install ANY more mods. You don't want to have a bunch of errors and install more things(mods/edits) on top of it. First off it makes it harder to track the errors at some points second you might receive more errors from the new mod or edit. But if it is just 1 or 2 errors that are there and they seem to be popping up but their is no visible area that it is affecting then you can go ahead and keep editing your site and adding mods while you wait for someone to post the fix for those 1 or 2 errors.

Now you said that you have other admins that have access to your arcade and editing it. What would be a great idea is to figure out exactly what they did so we can go back through what they did entirely(if needed) to find the problem. That would be the first step to resolving this problem. Also be sure you do post up those errors (one of each) with the attached files that the error is in. Second if there is a eval error do the sql edit we told you about before to make it show the proper file the error is in.

So just get those errors posted up with the attached files and back track what people edited with the arcade and we will surely get you squared away! You are in good hands here at SMF Helper

All the other person did was add games. They would not install and were in the tempgame folder, so I deleted them. 
I have left the errors in the error log, so they can be seen as they were coming in.
I start going through the errors and looking, then I wonder if one is a new one or one I already added. Getting confused and a bit frustrated  Hands on beside a person lessons is sounding great right about now.

I would say this .... let's say there is 5 errors and those 5 keep repeating. Go ahead and select ALL except 1 of each of those 5 and delete them (so in your error log at the end you should have only 5 errors). Then keep a close eye on your error log (maybe check it every 10 - 15 min and if something new or fresh is in there remember what you just did and go and try doing it again. If there is the error popping up again from what you just did (check the time on the error in the error log) then you know what is causing that. Post the error and the file and what you do that causes the error. You can also delete ALL ERRORS and do this same process. But be sure to post your errors with the files on here so we can fix them. That way you probably wont have so many popping up.

Done thank you.

Chatty-B there is so many thats the problem, over 2600 now  how does one sort through all of those and keep in mind the ones already posted, I used notepad, but was still getting extras. I think. I am hoping someone with more experenced eyes can see better then myself.

Just delete ALL of them ... they will come back and you can view them. Just view the error log every 10 min or so see new ones and record new on only if you dont already have it recorded.

I have a mod that will display # of current errors and has a link directly to your error log it displays just under your total time logged in (shows only for admins). That way if you do something and the number just jumped from 3 > 5 you will see that and you can go straight there and see what the error was and you know what you just did that made it appear.

I think I need that mod after all of this is sorted.

I took a look on her site and I have downloaded these 2 files onto my computer and am currently searching for the error. Was wondering if someone else wanted to take a stab at it while I was.

Errors:

Subs.php

:

File: /public_html/Sources/Subs.php

Those lines themselves actually look fine .. compared to my own and they are exactly the same. I am just trying to locate where the errors are actually being caused then.

I took a look but didn't find anything wrong in those two files.

[Chit-Chat ChatterBox Boss]

Yea I dont understand why the errors are coming ... I mean there is something wrong because when I go to clear her cache in the admin section under routine a error does display on a white page like it was failing ot load and talks about the cache (same error that is posted above) and then you have to refresh the page for it to go to where it was trying to. Happens in a few places.

[bigguy]

Have you tried replacing both files with clean ones to see if that solves the problem. Keep the originals in case it does more damage then good. It could also be due to a mod that was removed wrong.
