    When I go to my forum http://metsparadise.com/forums it says:

    Database error
    The database has encountered a problem.


    Can someone tell me the exact problem. Thanks.

    You are missing the table "datastore" in your database.

    If you have a backup of your database, sure. It's not a PHP file though.

    Actually, you must have received an email titled "Database Error" at sportwiz5[at]yahoo.com. Just open it and it will contain the exact database error details. Just post those details here and I'll try to solve.

    It seems you have no data associated with your forum. You have to install the forum again to create new tables. If you have any older backup, just use that.

    Try re-uploading all the original vb files overwriting the old ones.
    And, then do a fresh upgrade. /install/upgrade.php
    If done correctly, all the missing tables will be created.

    I think you had to chmod datastore.php to 777 turn datastore on...Good job on the fix though :)
