my site went down database crashed

hey vinilrichard,

I checked your site and it appears to be still down...
how many users did you have on your site?
if its a fresh install start over rather then spend time troubleshooting, less hair lost this way. lol

let me know if you need help and i'll help you get your sit up and running.

i dont think it was the database that went down, as much as it was something you changed, that caused the language files not to be able to communicate with the literal files and the dbase, and that is why you have the reported query error. i have seen this on a few occassions, where the user would tweak one of those item blocks that are built by ajax, this is a bad idea, and it causes problems. i know its not written anywhere that you shouldnt do that, but that is the cause of this type problem.

hopefully you have a dbase backup of your site. you can simply import the backed up dbase and all should be well. but the dbase didnt crash, you caused it to be unable to communicate wtih some change you made on the site.

oh PS you are not supposed to remove those footer logos unless you pay for the licenses. just thought i would let you know that. and i know you didnt pay for the licenses, as there is a dolphin logo on your site in the other footers.
not cool when you steal.

the logo problem after i upgraded from 6.oo5 the logo is not showing there..
i have a db backup but i restored it there is no hope
i didnt made any changes in my site but i installed some modules from rayzz such as youtube

For all practical purpose the site crashed. Mine did that also and unfortunately I didn't have a very recent backup. Live and learn. Backup often!

I had a similar Database query error ater installing a Ray Widget but mine happened on the slideshow. LIke I said, learned my lesson, back up before you change and before you install.
