Go into phpMyAdmin and Drop the table book_data and then try importing it from your backup.

Ah you ran an SQL query in phpMyAdmin. Hey so long as it worked thats all that matters.

Ok I rewrote my upgrade script from scratch. I cannot test it though as I don't have 2.2 installed anywhere. If you have 2.2 installed and know how to do a database backup would you please test it for me. You can get the script from www.carbonize.co.uk/upgrade.zip

Didn't use my reset script by any chance?

OK if your hosts have updated their MySQL version and you can no longer login you can use my password/username reset script to change the username and password or to just update them to the new password encryption. Simply download www.carbonize.co.uk/reset.zip and read the readme file.

I've rewritten my reset script to allow users to specify a new username and password. This should also make it easier for people with the latest SQL versions and this problem to fix it. I will upload when I get home as this forum does not allow attachments and I have no FTP access to my site from here.

Seems stupid to me to change the password function given that a lot of scripts use it. This would mean that every site that runs a script that uses password() will have to recreate the password. I am writing an upgrade script to upgrade Advanced Guestbook 2.2 to 2.3.1 so I'll make a version of my password reset script to help people with this problem.

I'll lok into what calls that error when I get home, if possible would it also be possible to have ftp access to your server so I can check the files on your space.

I said reupload the files I did not say reinstall the guestbook. You can download the guestbook from here, extract all files to a folder called gbook2 and then fill in the admin/config.inc.php file. Upload the gbook2 folder to your website and then see if it works properly. DO NOT RUN THE INSTALL.PHP FILE.

I believe the changes mentioned above are to how the password is sent to log on to the server and not how the passwords are encrypted.

Spoke to one of my friends but he was at a loss to explain it. I'll keep asking but it may be worth speaking to your hosts about it for now.

Did you download the guestbook from here or did your host provide it? It may be worth you downloading it from here again and overwriting your existing version, or upload it to a different directory first to test it.

I would say the problem lies in the fact that all the inputs have been renamed. For example you have name="name" when it should be name="gb_name".

Wonder why they changed it. I could alter my password/username reset script to restore the defaults but using th enew password system.
