New Feature: Find And Repair Database Errors!, Find and fix database problems yourself!

[+ TeamIP]

Hey everyone, I just finished a new feature that is in Beta.

Site administrators can find database errors and repair them by themselves, so hopefully this helps people get back up and running faster.

Also, even sites that are running fine may be analyzed for errors...just to be certain things are working fine.

To try this out, go to [yoursite]/?diagnose=1

I look forward to feedback on this new feature.

I'm game to try it out.
My portal vanished a week ago.

What do I do though?
When I clicked to go to my portal I saw the new message and clicked on the link back to my own board..presumably to the diagnoze and repair tool..

Er..then I got stumped.. Am I been incredibly thick?

What is your board's link or url?

Also, to others, even sites that are functioning properly can try it out...just to confirm that there are no errors. I welcome all feedback as we test this out.

UPDATE: I think I had it set so only "network administrators" (MYSELF) can try it out. I believe I just made an update so others "site administrators" can now access it.

You must be logged into your site before visiting the link.

For example: Administrators of this site would go to
http://pss.invisionplus.net/?diagnose=1

My Webpage

Sorry..that was a bit stupid of me not to post it.

So if you go here: http://weatherwise.invisionplus.net/?diagnose=1
does it work?

[Morticia]

Yes...I get to the right URL..
So far so good.
What do I do once there?
Hey, this is fun!

[+ TeamIP]

It should be self explanatory once you are there...

do you see a header that sayd "Find database errors and repair them...by yourself!", with a captcha image code to put into a text box?

[Morticia]

Er...no.
Just my forum

[+ TeamIP]

And you are logged in?

[Morticia]

Yes.
I just logged out and logged in again..to try it again.

this time the page only half loaded and hung...
just had a peek. it's loaded but there's no header or image code to paste.

Can an administrator from another site try this out? I have tested estensively and it works for me everytime....HELP!!!!

[RosenCruz]

Thank you for trying it out. I believed Morticia, I just needed the reassurance that it was not site specific for the bug to jump out at me.

Can people try it again please, I think I made it accessible to site administrators now!
