To do this go into your mySQL DB administrator (phpMyAdmin or whatever you have) and go to the xxxx_blocks table. ( xxxx being whatever prefix you put it as. ) The click browse ( or whatever you need to click to browse that table) and then add a new line with the information for that block.

AlanA Posts: 271 Posted: 18.Dec 2002 - 04:18	Hmmm this is quiet odd. In the database does it have the 1 under activated? Maybe PostNuke thinks its not activated and it really is.
sergio_101 Freshman Posts: 13 Posted: 18.Dec 2002 - 04:26	yes. pn_activate = 1... still looking around here... thanks for your help so far.. in a later message.. i go more into detail on this problem..
