compact failed, now message bodies out of sync with topics [message #39981]

I have a bit of a mess with my FUDforum.

I was running the "Compact Messages" option, which appears to have crashed before completing.

After this ran the "Forum Consistency" option a couple of times.

I now get the following message:

Warning: fopen(<root_path>/messages/msg_-40000): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in <root_path>/theme/default/msg.php on line 557

Notice the name of the message file has a "-" minus sign. Also, in the fud26_msg table, the file_id also has the minus sign.

I tried tricking it by making soft links to the message file names so that msg_-40000 points the real message file msg_40000. That gets rid of the error message, but the message bodies seem to be all out of sync with the wrong message body appearing under a given topic.

Can anyone help with this one?

Do you have any other files inside the messages folder?

can you do ls -lia inside the folder? Also check the forum's tmp folder

Hello Ilia,

I had to give up and delete all of the messages and clear out all of the DB tables related to the messages so I could get the Forum back on-line.

Here is what the message directory looked like prior to being renamed (I kept a backup):

total 41068
508518 drwxrwxr-x   2 bv126922 bv126922     4096 Jan  1 07:40 .
507908 drwxrwxrwx  14 bv126922 bv126922     4096 Jan  1 07:13 ..
510454 -rw-rw-r--   1 bv126922 bv126922       14 Jan 13  2004 .htaccess
510354 -rw-rw-rw-   1 bv126922 bv126922 41489294 Dec 31 08:55 msg_-10000
515212 -rw-rw-rw-   1 bv126922 bv126922   210011 Dec 19 06:44 msg_30000
515210 -rw-rw-rw-   1 bv126922 bv126922   275081 Dec 25 14:49 msg_40000
515211 -rw-rw-rw-   1 bv126922 bv126922     2849 Dec 19 06:46 msg_50000

In the msg table, it looked like the foff field values were all wrong for the messages in msg_10000.

The tmp directory only has a .htaccess file.
