Database Error

I am getting Database error on all attachments on DP forums.

Code (markup):

 

This is error is not a database error but attachment.php doesn't actually exist, have a look http://forums.digitalpoint.com/attachment.php

This might be the result of an accidental FTP/file manager deletion and only people with access to DigitalPoint's website can restore the missing file if available.

 

It does exist, if it wasn't, you'd see 404 error pages.
Most probably, database is corrupted, and requires to be repair/optimize tables.

Shawn should fix this up, it can cause further problems.

It really leads to a 404 error page, what you are quoting is the result of a variable (attachment.php?attachmentid=1) passed to a non-existing page.

You should know he can't do this for now

 

For me, it doesn't lead to a 404 error page, but a blank page, and that's normal.

 

That's strange because you know in PHP a blank page it's only normal when error_reporting is disabled [error_reporting(0);], or there is a .htaccess file redirecting to a blank page in 404 error.

Even though I can see a 404 error page as most of us have read vBulletin's default DB connection error when forum is not available, so error_reporting or .htaccess redirect must not be applying... so then?

By the way, I'm using Internet Explorer 6.1, change on version or browser might prevent you see the error page I said, only explanation coming to my mind.

 

many times a day when i tried to connect to DP i got database error page. that would be just because of connection problem.
