dbconnect.php file corrupted

[billu]

Hello everyone,

 

Today I got a cron job mail saying that my dbconnect.php file is corrupted. I uploaded the dbconnect.php to overwrite the old. Now I am unable to access whmcs. It says "down fro maintenance".

 

Has anyone every faced this issue and what is the solution over this.

 

Please advice.

Are your site error logs showing any details? Make sure you've got the correct database connection details still in configuration.php. Also check that you've not got any corrupted tables in your database - you can check this pretty easily using phpmyadmin.

I see the dbconnect error sometimes when developing modules. Try removing any 3rd party modules you've installed and make sure you do not have anything laying around in includes/hooks/. Even non-PHP files in this directory will get parsed and probably break stuff.

I have not installed any third party modules nor have done any kind of activity. Still I got this file corrupted.

you might just have a database that is bad, do you have a backup to upload

try turning on (or disabling) display_errors in your configuration.php file:

 

$display_errors = true;

It sounds like you've uploaded the dbconnect.php file from a different version of WHMCS. For example if you're running version 4.1.1 uploading a file from version 4.2.1 could cause this problem.
