View the page source - it should show some more details.

I checked the URL in your customer area but I get a DNS lookup failure, so I'm not sure which URL you are using now.

 

[Harrison V]

Hey, sorry i manage the forum, its under a different account. URL is community.robo3d.com

I believe you may be referring to this?
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)

 

[Paul B]

It's loading fine for me.

Does it load for you when logged out?

If so, that could indicate a crashed session table.
Try repairing it using phpMyAdmin.

Loads here fine also.

 

[Harrison V]

I actually don't have phpMyAdmin installed on this server. But I can do that in ssh.

 

[Harrison V]

Cant figure out the command line prompt. anyone know this?

 

[Paul B]

truncate table table_name;

 

[Harrison V]

Where would I execute that? in MySQL?
Also, what table and table name should I put?

 

[Mike Edge]

If your not sure how to run MySQL commands via shell. I'd strongly recommend installing phpMyAdmin to use instead.

 

[Harrison V]

I know how to use MySQL and the command line, but simply dont know the command to use in this specific case as I've never had this happen to me.

 

[Paul B]

I posted the command above.

Replace table_name with the actual name of the table you wish to truncate, in this case xf_session.

However, my suggestion that it is the xf_session table was just a guess based on experience.
It may be something else.
