(Strangely enough I cannot find info about this on the forum/site.)

My server admin just "upgraded" from SQL3.something to SQL4 and I get ever since the "fatal SQL error" thingy instead of the front page. (though on another machine I can access the forum but get SQL errors when trying to post... weird).

What is the status os the compatibility with SQL4 or can this be explained otherwise ?

Thanks again.

I'm using 2.5.2.

SQL4? Maybe you mean MySQL 4.0?

If it is MySQL 4.0, FUDforum will have not problems, I am running a large number of forums on MySQL 4.0.17

Thanks for the info, indeed the server is running 4.o.17.

I sort of gather that this may be due to a "disconnected" database at some point, or the connection info being wrong.

I know this is not strictly FUD-related, but do you think such error could come from the SQL3 to SQL4 upgrade procedure ?

The very weird thing is on one machine I can access the forum, but not on any other (running the same OS/browser !), eventhough it seems to be a SQL issue...

On this one machine I can access the admin page but then it seems I cannot validate any change ! (e.g. disabling the forum)

Any Idea on what could cause this strange behaviour ?

When upgrading from MySQL 3.X to 4.X the admin should've ran a certain script to import permission. He either failed to do so or it didn't run correctly. Look at the inside the errors/sql_errors files to see what are the errors.

Lines, many lines in the like of :

(this is the last line of the file as of now)

Is the script you refer a general script that any admin is meant to apply when upgrading SQL, or is it FUD-specific ?

Here is the actual error string:
(index.php) 1044: Access denied for user: 'rolenet2@%' to database 'rolenet2'<br />
Query: LOCK TABLES fud2_ses WRITE<br />
Server Version: 4.0.17-standard-log<br />

You need to ask your ISP to give locking permissions to your MySQL account.

... the admin refused to do anything, so I eventually changed host (short story). I moved FUD, and then... I still get the error ! Sql_error now says :

You need to ask your admin to enable LOCK priveleges for your account for your database.

OK, I have obtained those priveleges, and this error has dissappeared, but I get into another one :

I want to access the Admin panel, to change the base directories (it seems changing the globals.php is not enough ?*), but when I enter my admin login/pwd into the admloginuser.php page, the page refresh to load admglobal.php apperas to be sent but then I'm immediately sent back to the admloginuser page. Impossible to get at the admin panel.

* I wanted to change the domain associated with the forum and that seems to not be in the globals.php.

Edit GLOBALS.php file inside the include/ directory and make sure that GLOBALS.php inside main forum dir & adm/ are symlinks to that file.

Thanks for your instant reply.

It did work, the globals.php in include wasn't correct. I don't knwo how to check symlinks but I know the three files are the same.

In the end however quite frankly the repair might have come from the fact that the DNS were wrong and were updated in the meantime, so that it stopped trying to connect to the old domain.

I'm still a bit puzzled by the fact that I don't see how it is possible to change the links in the forum : e.g. say I want to access the PMs : the link is for me :
http://www.rolenet.org/fudforum/index.php?t=pmsg&

But if I,m swithcing server and didn't move the domain name, how can I change the link to :
http://www.othersite.org/fudforum/index.php?t=pmsg&

After you modify the GLOBALS.php go into the template manager and rebuild the theme, this will correct all of the forum's links.

You can check if a file is a symlink via PHP's is_link() function.

It worked. It has been stated elsewhere in the forum, but I might as well repeat two important steps when moving FUD from a server to another :

-rebuild the theme(s). One important symptom associated with not doing this are wrong links in the forum.

-make sure the globals.php situated in the web root and webroot/adm folders are symlinks to the globals.php in dataroot/include. To do that, first make sure the globals.pphp in /include looks correct, then erase any possible copies in the two first folders, lastly recreate the symlinks by using shell (if you have shell access) or a simple PHP script such as :

<?php
symlink("<dataroot>/include/GLOBALS.php", "<webroot>/GLOBALS.php");
symlink("<dataroot>/include/GLOBALS.php", "<webroot>/adm/GLOBALS.php");
?>
e.g. <webroot> may be something like "/users/b/bobsponge/public_html/fudforum/

A symptom for a globals.php symlink error is when you change a parameter in the admin panel but it doesn't appear to be applied to the forum.

---

I want to thank Ilia once more for the fast and efficient support provided along my server switch. You have made this transition smooth despite the hurdles laid by other parties. I'm sure the players in my forum are as grateful as me for your decisive help.
