Where's your php file for this poll?

The error is saying you have the wrong info for the database in the admin/config.inc.php file. Either wrong username, password or both.

Take a look at Demo 4 in the Free Scripts section of this site. It sounds like that is what you want.

Hey, Trevor.

I got that you are already using the above meta tag. Found the following link on the Internet for blocking bad bots that don't follow the rules. Haven't tried it myself yet, but I plan to.

The above tutorial is for Blocking robots via .htaccess

What is the link you are using to call up the guestbook?

The guestbook posts are saved in the database.

Are you using PhpNuke?

Run the install.php file to create the db tables. You should have copied that file to your server, so in your browser address window point to it. Instructions are in the doc/readme.txt file, item #2:

Or use the script 'install.php' -> http://www.yourDomain.com/guestbook/install.php

After installation, be sure to remove the install.php file from your server.

Most of the error messages are pointing to lines in the index.php file that have to do with files in the lib directory. Are you sure you copied the lib directory and all its files to your server?

Make sure you have set your database info, base url and email in the admin/config.inc.php file.

Also, please read this thread: http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3580

In this thread (8th post down), Jam'n has good instructions with pictures for upgrading the database tables from PhpMyAdmin: http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2595

When you get to the part that says:

Now select on the right window SQL and browse to the file with the upgrade or paste it into the window and press GO

This is the doc/db_update_v22-23.sql file

The 3rd post down in this thread you can find the link to Carbonize's upgrade file: http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3037&start=15

This post tells where the original upgrade sql file is found and the tables it does not fix: http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1981&start=17

If, after upgrading, you get the "admin Loop" taking you back to the login whenever you make a selection, this post offers some solutions: http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3462

When you upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3.1, the database tables are not the same as if you had originally started with 2.3.1. There are several posts that discuss the issue, and 2 different approaches to solving it. I got rid of the problem by making corrections to the database tables. Fortunately, I have several copies of the guestbook and was able to compare the database tables for the different versions.

http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1711&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15 One of the posts in this thread suggests reverting back to one of the version 2.2 files, which solves the admin loop problem, but who knows what other problem one may encounter down the road? As someone in the thread suggests, reverting back to an older file because you cannot find the solution is not really a solution. However, you may want to try it.

http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1981&start=17 I haven't tried this, because I fixed the tables manually, but it sounds like the best method.

Here's another discussion about it: http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2595&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

Did you follow the instructions in the readme file? It sounds like the database info and password have not been added to the admin/config.inc.php file, because it says,

(Using password: NO)

Check the setting for your base url in admin/config.inc.php on or around line 59:

No guarantees. If it doesn't work, maybe leave a link so someone can see what's up with it.

First, since you are looking for support, you should be posting in the Support Forum.

In the future, please do a search, and you will find many posts to help you with this.

Set permissions for the templates directory to 777. Set permissions for all files in the templates directory to be writable. 666 is suggested. I'm using 664, and it works fine.

I have all the .class files at 644, which I believe is how they originally were.
