Error creating new session '''Fixed''', by repairing some tables through phpMyAdmin! [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 20:22, 10 June 2010 (UTC):But not possible to post new topics yet. At least all information is back, enough for today I guess :) [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 20:30, 10 June 2010 (UTC) Doing a TRUNCATE and REPAIR of ''phpbb_sessions'' should fix the problem. --[[User:Joksnet|Juan Manuel]] 13:10, 28 July 2010 (UTC) :Fixed it (again) in phpMyAdmin. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 20:36, 28 July 2010 (UTC) ===Re-enabling posting===Been checking out MySQL tables, phpnuke and phpbb, but didn't get far yet. There's also a bug that's stopping me. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 23:42, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
* I don't have write permissions for most files, I might be able to do stuff through PHP scripts though and I can fix stuff in the database (such as the forums which are back now, well at least readable). [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 21:49, 10 June 2010 (UTC) === Database ===I downloaded the database and through phpMyAdmin. Pretty safe. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 23:42, 13 June 2010 (UTC) === Fetching all files from server ===I downloaded all files in the root directory. There are a lot of directories and it's lot of work to recover the files in there one by one. Which directories definitely need to be fetched? [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 20:06, 10 June 2010 (UTC) With my access I can't see anything in the server root over FTP, but over PHP I can. I'm using PHP File Manager now but with that I can only download file by file, which is not feasible with the number of files that are around, spread over many directories. The software has an archiving functionality, but it's not working. Ideally something from here: http://www.hotscripts.com/category/php/scripts-programs/file-manipulation/file-management/ would be able to do it, anyone has more experience with any of these? [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 23:42, 13 June 2010 (UTC): Maybe you can try to write a little php-script, that just puts everything in one big zip-file :) --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 09:28, 22 June 2010 (UTC):: I was hoping someone can point me to such as little php script ;) Also, I suspect http://php.net/zip might not be turned on on the server - I tried zipping stuff with some PHP file manager but that didn't work. Maybe we can have a session together to figure this out and to hopefully get copies of all files. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 11:44, 22 June 2010 (UTC) === Mirroring ===Archive.org only has [http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://digihitch.com data up to 2008]. Probably a lot is missing there.<tt>httrack</tt> doesn't want to mirror the site either, with standard parameters. Probably some problem with session/cookies. Can someone else give it a try?

Let's try to at least preserve and possibly revive digihitch.com
Overview: June 22nd, 2010
* [[User:Guaka|guaka]] has (some kind of) access
** can fix issues in database
** acquired database dump (with all articles and forum threads)
** can fetch files
* domain name seems biggest issue

phpBB : Critical Error
: Is this happening on digihitch.com or on a mirror?
: Can users login? I think they intentionally disabled it on the main site, so probably it's just a flag in the settings. But anyway, we shouldn't re-enable it on the original site without talking to hikecrazy. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 09:26, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
:: yeah, it is possible to login and also to post an entry in your diary. But that's all there is now. --[[User:Robino|Robino]] 15:25, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
== Restoring status ==
== The domain name? ==
What can we do?
Main Digihitch people are in touch with Morgan's wife - but it will take time. The main thing to find out right now is: what is needed to transfer a domain name from a deceased person to someone else at GoDaddy? [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 20:20, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
