Try the admin panel

The entry's aren't lost because they are stored in the database.

Here is the code for a new one:

Ps. I made an typo in the link forget the dot in the domain name.
It should work now, but you can just copy and paste the above code.

The guestbook that you're running is the php version (version 2.2)

You can find a new index file here:

New index.php

If I'm correct this should be the same as version 2.2, but it's better when you upgrade to version 2.3.1

ps. Nice site

Try to loggin with
username: test
password: 123

Try forcing it by making a new text file named: 01-2004.txt

You can't fix it in the control panel.
They have replaced your index.php file, just upload a new one.
Maybe it's also better to upgrade to version 2.3.1 I don't know if 2.2 has a security problem.

The guestbook doesn't have an approval function.

Looks like you use the wrong user name and/or password for the MySQL database.
Did you also configure everything correctly in the config.inc.php file before you uploaded it?

Like this:

Go to your guestbook admin folder and open config.inc.php with an editor
and find

/* database settings */

$GB_DB["dbName"] = ""; <--insert the name of your database
$GB_DB["host"] = "localhost";
$GB_DB["user"] = ""; <--insert your login name you use for the databse
$GB_DB["pass"] = ""; <--insert the password you use to access your database

You will have to contact your host.
They have applied open base directory restrictions.
What this means, is that no file can write to another folder other than the one that it is in.
So when addentry tries to write to the temp and to the public folder, it will pass this error.
They need to enable unrestricted open base directory.
This is usually put in effect by paranoid web hosts, who are scared of security risks

This could be a chmod problem.

Have you tried this setting?

admin 755
doc 755
img 755
lang 755
lib 755
public 777
templates 777
tmp 777

Try looking in the general settings when you loggin as an admin and you will see the option:

Language
The language file you want to use.

The only option I have left is delete all the cookies and temporary internet files and try again.

Do you have a link so I could give it a try?

To change the bookmess6 take a look in the language folder and change it.

and on your second question:

Here is what you have to do:

1.) open /guestbook/lib/gb.class.php in your favorite ascii editor
and look for the Jumpmenu code. It starts around line 73

Replace http://www.mydomain.com/ with your homepage URL

2.) Now to add a javascript function to the guestbook header
go to your templates folder and find header.php and add this between the <head>Put below code somewhere between these</head> tags

It works, I have tried it. for the other links though, you will not be using the "Go" button, as it is an auto-jump select type

I don't use it on my site, because I don't need it.

Try reseting the password

You will need PHPadmin for this.

[Method 1]
Select the Guestbook database.
Select book_auth.
Now choose Browse.
You now see the admin username and password.
Select edit.
Now paste Code:

in the password field and click “GO”.

This will reset your account to:

Your admin name and the password will be: 123

Or do it like this.

[Method 2]
Select the Guestbook database
Now choose on the right side of screen select SQL
Now insert in the Data Entry Field the following lines:

And click "GO"

This will reset your account to:

User name: test
Password: 123

The 2 logo's can be found in templates/body.php around line 4 and 5
