SQL Error Results in HTML Error

Gyhth · Feb 23, 2008

I was lurking, mostly checking out the information on the Unofficial patch and trying to find the install that allowed it to be installed as a Mod. (Honestly, it was rather difficult to find because it wasn't in the OP for the patch, and on the last page someone said it was just a few posts up, but I went through 20 pages and didn't find it. Had to go to another thread to get it, and it was just luck then.) I managed to get this error. Ironically, the SQL error page has an HTML error, which amounts to missing the < in the <html> tag. This is the page that I managed to get. This is not the source for the page, but rather, this is the actual page that appeared. I removed my IP for safety reasons :lol:

With that to, the mailto: address is blank as you can see, meaning even if the page did appear properly, the admin couldn't be emailed to be notified about the SQL server issue.
