ES Doctor

ES Doctor will go through your database file by file and make sure that everything is healthy. It will print any errors that occur.

This program does the following:
- Opens your aU.dat (your main user list)
- Swings through all the user files and makes sure they have an entry for the IN hits, OUT hits, and Return URL.

Doctors Notes (the things he will tell you when you run it):

  • All done - Total Number of uses = # Number of healthy users = #
    If this is the only response you get back, then everything is perfect with your database (from the doctors view).
  • Error opening up aU.dat - This is the worst one you can get because it means that your user list isn't functional. You need to go replace the aU.dat from your backup. Go to the "use backup" and click on the "user entire database". Then run the doctor again. You may have to go into your es/data directory and actually delete the users files that don't belong.
  • Error- user file (user) is unable to be opened. Please check it. - This means that your user list has an entry in it that shouldn't be there or is unreachable. Just go delete that user using the "delete" program and readd them...you may get an error trying to delete them but it is ok.
  • It appears user file (user) is empty. Delete and readd this user - This means the stat file for that particular user is empty. You will need to go and delete it using the "delete" progran and readd it with the "add partner". Or you could use the backup copy and try using the backup copy for that user. Go to "back up" and add the user in the bottom field, NOT the entire backup, just the single user.
  • User file (user) is missing either an IN hits stat, an OUT hits stat, or a return url. Delete and readd this user - This means that the user file is corrupted. Either they don't have an IN hit, OUT hit, or URL stat. Just go either delete and readd or use the backup copy as mentioned above.
