That's right, I'll be processing maps again... please make sure you zip em and ghost mode is on.

Upload maps to ftp://maps:maps@nikt.drugcrew.com

Not often I make an update these days - site is mainly still up for historical purposes but I was on last night removing someone's details at their request and decided to ban a spammer.

Not sure what happened, maybe they had a weird IP saved or something, but once I hit ban, nobody *even admin* could log in - just this message

: oof

In case I have to fix it again, the tradition is I post the solution here, in case it helps someone else or at very least future me.

1. removed all recent IP bans directly from banlist in database
2. tested - still same error
3. remembered phpbb caches everything in it's database, so changes don't always appear immediately.
4. bust brain on how I can purge cache while locked out of the board - button is in admin panel, requiring login
5. google it & find a page on phpbb forums
6. Make afile.php with code in it as follows:

Code: Select all: <?php define('IN_PHPBB', true); $phpbb_root_path = './'; // Relative to your phpBB installation path $phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1); include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx); $cache->purge(); $auth->acl_clear_prefetch(); die( 'done' );

7. Open it in browser - it says "Done"
8. Fixed! board lets us back in again.
