Hi Guy's site crashes and when i go in to my server and look at the files a file called lock seems to have been put in any ideas

Please provide a bit more information. What's your Forum URL?

Here you go thelinksup.site40.net and here hoopstershuddle.­netau.­net hoopsters huddle will be getting deleted as i want to keep thelinksup i have deleted the lock file but can't get my forum up.

Not sure if it is a server error this is the server am using 000webhost.com

Have you installed your boards yet?

If not, please visit: http://thelinksup.site40.net/install or http://hoopstershuddle.netau.net/install

If you have installed it, please create an empty file and name it 'lock' and upload it into the directory 'lock'.

Yes i did install the board and i will now make a file called lock. Why was it not there when the files uploaded to rerver?

i Have now installed the file lock what happens next ?

The Install script adds it after it finishes so if you where to go back to
http://thelinksup.site40.net/install or http://hoopstershuddle.netau.net/install
so that you can not or anyone else can start the install script. unless you remove the lock file /install will not work.

So how do i get my site back up any ideas

You've locked the installer correctly on http://thelinksup.site40.net/ but you're now getting:

SQL Error:
1130 - Host '10.1.1.16' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server
Query:
[READ] Unable to connect to MySQL server

This is a host issue meaning you'll need to contact them about this error.

Thank's for the help

If you remove the lock fill install script will work

but is it already installed
if you go
http://thelinksup.site40.net/
you get this error

MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.

you probably wait for some one who knows more than me to give you an answer
cause I am not sure what your trying to do
I think your trying to install mybb then restore a data base to the new site?
