I built our members site back in 2005. I upgraded a few times and then we decided to also add a completely separate public site with a separate forum. All were hosted at the same place. The way I set it up was we had a home page using Word press but the WP forum or registration was closed and not an option. I built to buttons on the page that would hot link to the either the member forum or the public forum depending on what button was clicked. Once clicked I had customized a vbadvance home page to organize the forum.I mistakenly did not upgrade and things ran fine for years. I also had the directory password protected with assigned passwords. Well I am unsure what happened but now I cannot access either forum. I tried to have the host back up to earlier dates and no of the attempts were successful.
On one I get:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
and on the other I get :
Now I realize this is not the place for technical questions but it is directly related to my new purchase question. I am at a loss of my last vb version I updated to. It has to be 3.5 or close to it. With that said the forum had become dormant for the most part. I believe it was due to the lack of people being able to access the site as things moved more to phones with push notifications our site did not advance. On the user end I am looking for the forum style but an easy read and navigation from phones. I have also been looking into software that we can use on the admin side that allows us to post on facebook, twitter etc at the same time using one program so we dont have to juggle and maintain multiple sites to post the same thing. So my question is a few:
1. Can anyone provide a link to a site I can check out that it set up using VB software that will be similar to our latest needs expressed above?
2. Based on the errors shown above is there anyway I can recover the file and upload it to the new software so we at least do not lose all the old posts? I need to know bc if I have to stat all over I can obviously pick any software.
3. If I make a post if there an option to also update facebook and other social media or is that done separately?
