What does msg_1 do? [message #27705] Wed, 21 September 2005 22:26 Go to next message

We have installed fudforum on our server and over time
noticed that msg_1 file grows in size. I have recently
for test purposes copied the file to a different location and
zeroed out the file. In doing so I have notice that the body of previous messages that were sent in various forums were gone.
I still have the old msg_1 file. The purpose of moving the
file was to gain more disk space. Is there a way to fix this
without having to fill my disk.

That file stores the message bodies, you cannot just remove it Smile

I still have the old msg_1,can it move it back. Is there a way of joining the old and new msg_1 file so the bodies will still be there. And also is there a way of compressing the file to save disk space with any problems, if so how?


Thanks

You cannot compress that file no more then you can compress your MySQL database and have it continue to work.

You can merge but it probably better to keep them separate now, rename the old one to msg_2 and and update old message to have file_id column to have 2 as a value.

I moved the old msg_1 file to msg_2 file to the right location
and the bodies are still not appearing. What do you mean
when you say update the old message to have file_id column to have 2 as a value. Are you saying that I should update the fud_msg.tbl or something else.


Thanks

The database msg table stored the id of the file to open. So for all old message you need to update that id to # 2.

You need to modify the message table in the database.

You need to provide login password and the database you want to access to that command.

Thank you so much for your help!! I was able to retrieve the
messages by updating the message table. I was not able to view any new messages in that table since the messages were lost.
Meaning everything in msg_2 exist in the message table but the new msg_1 doesnot.

Did you make sure to ONLY update the records referring to the new messages?

I moved the old msg_1 back to the message directory and renamed it to msg_2 then updated the mesage table to change the file_id from 1 to 2 which only contained the old message and not the new messages.
