Nuke Sentinel after moving to a new server

I'm back

with yet another question.

I got my web page moved today to a new server with a new URL. My sentinel is acting somewhat odd. I can't save changes on the administration page, none of my blocked IP's are scrolling and none of my IP tracking is working. They moved the page intact.

When I try to make the changes to Sentinel Administration...like turning IP tracking on, etc, after I press save, it goes right back to where it was.

Do I need to uninstall and reinstall Sentinel? Or is there just a DB change that needs to be done?

Thanks again. You are all awesome!!

That's an indication that the tables are either not present or are corrupted. I would try running a REPAIR on your database.

No new install advice?
Even with repair...can a system be trusted after that?

Normally it's just a matter of the indexes got hosed somehow. It's perfectly safe.

Well if that happens to me il loose faith on the install and do it over again,and if i have a lot of banned ip's i just put them back when done...then i sleep better... Smile

Unfortunately, a simple repair did not work.

Ok, what's weird here is when I go look at my db on phpmyadmin, and I look at the Sentinel databases, everything in there is correct. But it is not showing on my web page itself.

Nothing scrolls in my box, my changes will not stay in administration and it's not tracking a single IP address.

Is there anything else I can do?

Yep. Reinstall.

Yep, that's what I thought. Appreciate it as always, Raven. Smile
