DataTables Warning: Please assist - mysql

I have created a family tree on my website using MySQL 5. Everything is working except the User Administration table. When I attempt to access it I get an error that says (DataTables warning: table id=DataTables_Table_0 - Invalid JSON response. For more information about this error, please see datatables.net/tn/1). When I use the chrome debugger to find out what is happening it is telling me (The requested URL was rejected. If you think this is an error, please contact the webmaster).
I have contacted the family tree developer to find out what is wrong and they are telling me the issue is in the underlying table on the server end and not their software as it won't produce that type of error. When I contact my hosting site, they tell me they need to be able to reproduce the error and I have no idea where it is in the MySQL software. My hosting site will not work with 3rd party software. So I have to diagnose this on my own. I have no clue what to do. I have looked at your other threads and turned of all firewalls on my computer and I still get the error. I have also tried clearing cookies and cache and still get the error. Are there any other things I can try? Or something I can tell my hosting company to look for?

How do I add a Remote Connection to Ionos Database for ExcelforMySQL?

I have a database that I have created for a friend of a mine that he would like to store his data and work directly from on a daily basis. Recently I came across ExcelforMySQL and thought this would be a perfect AddIn for him to use.
I have successfully linked the AddIn to the database (Xampp Local connection) and this loads up fine but when I move the database onto a webserver that I have with ionos(1and1) and enter the Host Details along with the Username and Password, I get the following error:
Connection attempt failed.
Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts.
When I click Show Details:
All it says is One or more errors occurred.
Would really appreciate it, if somebody could advise on how to fix this, as I really want to be able to work live on the data and update the changes from the user directly in Excel if possible and this addin looks like it does that.
If anyone has any other suggestions then I am happy to hear them as not fussed as what is used as long as it works.
Thanks
I had a similar problem to yourself with a number of my own sites/DB's hosted on Ionos. After a bit of searching through their help they state that access from outside your Ionos package is not possible. Unfortunately we're stuck with their hosted version of PHP My Admin in the control panel.
Although I have found that MySQL-front works great and bypasses the Ionos restrictions. Google is your friend...
Maybe a bit late for you but for others who come across this question as I said google is your friend...

How to resolve Microsoft Access Error 3043

My company uses a shared MS Access database, with a back end stored on a server and a front end copied onto users desktops.
Recently, our IT department moved us to a new server without giving us any notice, and now our database keeps crashing.
Every 20-40 minutes, users get an error message that says:
Error 3043 Your network access was interrupted. To continue, close the database, and then open it again.
If they close and reopen, it does work. However, I'd like to stop this from happening, since it typically happens when they are in the middle of something and have to re-do everything.
I've already spoken with our IT consultants and they see no issue with our server/network, nor do they know anything about Access and therefore are no help.
Does anyone have any experience with this or have any ideas that may help me repair my database?
Thanks in advance.
Here are some thoughts:
It sounds very much like (short) network interruptions. MS Access doesn't like these at all, in particular it doesn't recover from a broken connection (even if very short) until you restart the frontend.
Network interruptions during write operations on Access backends are the prime cause of backend database corruption. Consider yourself lucky if you haven't experienced that yet. But you should backup and Compact&Repair the backend often (!) .
You can prevent backend corruptions by moving the backend to a server database, e.g. SQL Server Express (free). Errors will still occur ("ODBC call failed" instead of error 3043), but they will only affect the frontends.
You can probably work around all errors by changing the frontend from bound forms to unbound forms. This is a major undertaking.
I don't think there is anything you can do with the backend to prevent the errors.
If this database has value to your company, and IT says there is no problem, I suggest you escalate the problem to someone who can make IT look closer into the issue.
(How to do so would be a separate question, perhaps on SuperUser.)

phpMyAdmin apparently ignoring POST data, no error

I am running MAMP on my OSX dev environment, and it recently notified me that it could auto-update phpMyAdmin to version 4.6.5.2. I did so, and all seemed to be well, I was able to browse my databases as before.
Soon I learned that some things weren't working. When I take actions that use a GET request, such as clicking the Browse tab on a database, it works. When I do anything requiring POST, such as a Search, or an SQL query, it ignores the request and reloads the page, no error message appears on-screen.
No errors or warnings appear in my MySQL, Apache, or PHP log files. The problem occurs on all databases, and it's only affecting phpMyAdmin--other locally hosted sites accept POST requests as normal. I am able to read and write to the databases though other channels (e.g., command line, PHP scripts, etc).
Has anyone else encountered this?
Does anyone have an idea what might be causing it?
I'm currently trying to roll back the version, but I need to figure out how.
I have encountered the same. It looks like I have resolved the problem by clearing cookies. Also switching between different auth_type(http, cookie, config) modes in config.inc.php could help.

Is it possible to trap the "Access is in an inconsistent state" error?

I have an Access 2013 database split across a network that is mainly used via Citrix. I keep getting the error message that the database is in an inconsistent state and I don't know why. I created a query to capture the user name and machine id as a auto-exec macro so I can go back and ask users what happened etc. But what I'd like to know is if it would be possible to know which user first encountered this error? Can I trap the error somehow and know which user "caused" it? I have a feeling that this error happens prior to the auto_exec macro firing but I live in hope.
What I am hoping to be able to do is get with the Citrix team and see if they have a corresponding error or something in their logs.
.. sadly they are all sharing the same front end. It's only being used
for read-only lookup purposes. I wanted each user to have their own
copy but IT disagreed with me.
The only way it could work reliably, is if the accdb file itself is marked as Read-Only, and that would probably leave your application useless.
I've been through this with a client running a huge Citrix setup (40000+ employees) for an application with a priority. IT had for a reason a strict view on security, but though quite cooperative, they were of little help.
However, I got it solved by a VB script. It worked in the first attempt and so well, that I wrote up a description here:
Deploy and update a Microsoft Access application in a Citrix environment
The great thing is, that you probably won't need IT to do anything for you.

PROVIDER ERROR 80004005

the company i worked with for a few days had the problem with the error for the project online which is served with Classic ASP and MS Access database. I googled it up and seems like that it couldn't find the database file. And it gave error to line 6: objConn.Open "badge" - I assume that it couldn't find folder badge. But when I tested it online on IE, it worked fine while it didn't work on Firefox and Chrome.The customers were told to try IE only. Still got the same error sometimes.
I am new with classic asp but not my favorite actually.
Any suggestion on why it is giving the errors once in a while? Do you think it could be the server fault?
thank you in advance
I've typically found that error to be based on permissions. Is the process running "as" some otherwise non-access user to the given folder. It could be at a folder and or file level.. Any "impersonation" issues going on?
I know you already stated you looked at the path, but if that was mis-typed, or otherwise changed inadvertantly and can't find the path, that too could hose the process on you.
