Fatal error: Call to undefined function: q() in /home/virtual/site53/fst/var/www/html/forum/index.php on line 257

After a server crash, database repairs were necessary. Once completed, the forum worked fine for about 24 hours and then went totally down with this message returning when attempting to sign on.

Our hosting company (always blaming the FUD Forum software for their endless problems) claims it is because someone went in and messed around with the PHP code. Being code neophytes we have no clue as to what happened, but no one went in and 'messed with' PHP code.

Any ideas on how to get our forum back up and running????

Try rebuilding the templates via the admin control panel. As far as your ISP's conclusion that someone messed with PHP files, that plausible but unlikely. THe cause of the problem is that FUDforum cannot locate the code necessary for it's operation.

We can't access the forum at all so how can we rebuild the template?

This is what happened. Hosting company did an ensim panel upgrade after a server crash two weeks before (our files were corrupted and he repaired them). They didn't shut down mysql properly first so our files were corrupted again and he won't repair them this time because he says it is the fault of the FUD Forum software and has nothing to do with the server. So our forum has been down since Friday. He refuses to help us any more, and is holding our site and corrupted data hostage. We don't have root access so we can't do the repair ourselves.

We have two fud forum backups which we can't use to install on a new site because the new site doesn't have the mysql infrastructure to take the backup files.

We also have an entire site backup but to use that on the new site the ensim version would have to be the same and it isn't.

I've been reading that most forums are extremely susceptible to this mysql shutdown problem.

Anyone have any suggestions?

A year and a half of posting will be lost if we don't find some way to transfer the backups to a new site.

Basically the solution is to do some manual. Hacking, make a dump of all the SQL data & forum files. Take them to another server and manually import them.
