Lost Admin Access

I have DBMAN SQL running without prolem for the last year or so, then two weeks ago I lost all access and keep getting error messages.


GT::Template (79478): Unable to create compiled template directory '//templates/admin/compiled'. Reason: No such file or directory at /shoots.com/cgi-bin/dbsql/admin/Dbsql/Admin.pm line 79. Please enable debugging in setup for more details.

The ConfigData.pm is showing 0kb, lost all data. Tech support gave me a couple of things but nothing, has anyone had theis or similar happen. I'm on UNIX Free BSD with MySQL.

Hi calderwood

Are you talking about a DBMan SQL 2.1 installation? You might try these settings in ConfigData.pm:

Code:

{
'admin_root_url' => 'http://www.shoots.com/cgi-bin/dbsql/admin',
'user_sessions' => '',
'session_exp' => '3',
'build_pages_per_screen' => '15',
'db_cgi_url' => 'http://www.shoots.com/cgi-bin/dbsql',
'debug_level' => '',
'default_user_table' => '<name of your user table> or <Sample_Users>',
'path_fileman' => '/shoots.com/cgi-bin/dbsql/admin',
'default_tpl' => '<name of your default template folder>',
'command_time_out' => '10',
'db_images_url' => '',
'admin_root_path' => '/shoots.com/cgi-bin/dbsql/admin',
'default_table' => '<name of your default table> or <Sample>',
'error_message' => '',
'setup' => '1',
'reg_number' => '<your registration number>',
'db_images_path' => '/path/to/your/DBMan/images/folder',
'db_admin_email' => '<your email address>,
'db_mail_path' => '',
'allowed_space' => '100000',
'path_to_perl' => '/usr/bin/perl',
'db_smtp_server' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail', (or your provider's SMTP server)
'version' => '2.1.0',
'build_links_per_page' => '25'
};


I would check if other files are missing, too. Hope this helps.

Good luck,
Oliver

Version is 2.0.3

I got a reply from someone at Gossamer about upgrading the installed dbsql using the installer from original dbsql package, but I don't have that as it was installed by Gossamer tech.

Digging through old backup files I just found a backup of the original files so I'll do a reinstall, see if that works.

Reinstalled the program, ran setup.cgi, said done, went to a blank page. Next went to http://shoots.com/...bman/admin/admin.cgi and it took me to setup.cgi again, ran it again, still nothing. Setup a new database, reran setup.cgi, did nothing. Totally dead.

Have you verified if there are still zero byte files on the server eaven after your new installation? Could be that you have a problem with disk quota... Try to upload a file via FTP and see if it has the same filesize on the server. Maybe, you could give us some more details about your configuration?

Let me know
Oliver
