Sorry, I don't use instant messengers for several reasons.  If you don't want to give out a URL to your board publicly, you can e-mail me at waccoon@ninechime.com.

Your SQL database is corrupt.  There's supposed to be a field for user flags, but it's missing.

Upload {removed} and run it.  This will let you log in, and hopefully, your existing pictures will show up.  WARNING:  this file will only work for PaganPanther Oekaki!  Nobody else should use it!

If no pictures show up on the index page, then your board is likely corrupt beyond repair and you should definately re-install it.  To do that, upload the install.php file from the Wax Poteto distro to your server, view it, and at the very bottom of the page, click "Click here to remove the database! All information WILL be lost without confirmation!!".  Then, re-install like you would a new Wax Poteto.

I highly recommend getting the new 5.5.0 before you re-install, though.  5.4.7 has a major bug with default templates (shame on me).

I'm not totally sure how CHMODing works on Windows via FTP clients.  I think you have to do it through the shell, or it might depend on what FTP service you're running.  Still, permissions aren't that big a deal under Windows if you're not running a shell-based script.  PHP is an application-based scripting engine and has its own internal security system.

I think all we really have to do is re-install the board to repair the database.  I'd have no problem doing that for you if you like.

I had the same problems. This often happens if files were created with php and not were uploaded. In this case copy the file on your PC, then delete on the webspaace and upload the file again. Now you can CHMOD it.

I have a question...my friend darcshadow wound up deleting my old "Pictures" folder from my site, do you think theres a way to get it back? Also, how can I get "Paintchat"?

Hey Waccoon! Can you please email me the instructions on how to install and setup paintchat?

thanks!

Hmm... Waccoon, I know that I'm new here, but can you pass to my e-mail (rurouni26@gmail.com) too that tutorial on how to set a paintchat server?

Me too because I need one bad Wacoon!

Pardon for necroposting, but I've got a little problem with this PaintChat, and if there's is any option, then I would like to ask about these instructions which was mentioned "a little" earlier. Sorry for trouble.

Big Thanks - and Best Regards .
