 * I am running WP on SQL Server 2008R2
    When I activate PodPress it corrupts my“
   fields_map.parsed_types.php” file and I can’t open my site (Can’t connect to 
   database).
 * Luckily I backed up before install and was able to restore the file.
 * Anyone know how to fix this?

 * It would be great if you could post the complete error message or at least additionally
   the line number which is probably part of the error message.
 * The file fields_map.parsed_types.php is not a file of podPress and it seems that
   it is not a file of WP. It may be a file of a different plugin or theme. It would
   be helpful to which plugin or theme it belongs.
 * Have you searched for the file name with Google?

 * ntm thanks for the reply.
    There is no error message. The site does not run. 
   There is just a blank page except for the words “Can’t connect to database.” 
   I fixed it by examining which files had been modified by the plugin and replacing
   the one that had been trashed.
 * The trashed file (fields_map.parsed_types.php) is a file that is used by the 
   database abstraction (I’m running on SQL Server, not mysql). The section that
   was trashed is to do with stats.
 * Update: Podpress plugin seems to be behaving but I have decided not to activate
   the stats.
    Maybe just a heads up to other WP on SQL Server users.
