Hi, I first need to let you know that I am not a web developer, but I'm good a following directions. I have a business website that someone else created for me where I could post pdf attachments for customers to download and also sign up and pay for things right from the website.
When I login as adminstrator, the site looks fine: all of the different tabs (pages) are available, the .pdf attachments are available etc...but when someone from the outsite launches the website, www.playmakersfamily.com they don't see all of the tabs (one that is missing is called birthday parties) and they see "Access denied" on the home page.

The guy who build the website said it's a database corruption. He spent 8-10 hours on it before figuring out the auto-numbering in several tables is out of synch somehow and it would take a lot longer than that to fix it.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Is there an easy way to fix it or something I need to know to fix it myself or have an amateur help with it (the amateur is a friend who has made 2 page websites through comcast. Thank you and sorry for all of my verbiage.

Find the bit of code where it decides to give you access or not, and post it here.

thank you for your suggestion. I'm looking in to this and will let you how successful I am at finding the code.

Hi dbrupp-

It sounds like you're talking about an auto-increment problem with your table indexes. If you have access to the database with a GUI tool like phpMyAdmin, you can try to adjust the auto-increment value. Check out this post for more info: http://www.electrict...nt-value-mysql/.

You can also completely reset and re-instate the auto-increment function in the table by deleting the auto-increment column and re-creating the column with the AUTO-INCREMENT flag set. This will wipe and recreate the table index with proper auto-incrementing.

This ticket can be closed out. We decided to use an alternate route because we're making changes to our business and will need to do a face lift to the website anyway; so, are starting fresh. I hope you don't feel that I wasted anyones time. I much appreciate the help.
