error in compacting messages
http://fudforum.org/forum/index.phpindex.php?t=rview&goto=30115&th=6151#msg_30115
I just upgraded to 2.7.4 from 2.7.3RC3 without any problem. The forum works normally, but I'm getting the following error message when I try to compact messages. How can I solve the problem, and is the incomplete process critical/harmful for the forum?

You need to make sure that mbstring function overload is disabled.
A few questions:
Where is the mbstring function?
How is it enabled?
How does one disable mbsting function overload?
Will this restore messages, all of which are now missing? If not, how can messages be restored?
Thanks.

My main concern right now is restoring some 234,000 missing messages. Can you please help me out with that?
Thanks.

Is it possible to furnish an upgrade as such, one that only replaces the files which have changed since the previous version, instead of putting it in the form of a complete re-install? If there was, I would have been keeping up with upgrades and would not have encountered this potentially fatal bug.
I hope you will consider this.
Thanks.]]>BobB2006-07-17T19:48:40-00:00Re: error in compacting messages

It is not possible because if the old files are kept they may refer to code no longer present in the new version or no longer used templates resulting in a broken forum.
Icons???
Those files affected in any way should be in the upgrade version. Files that are not affected don't need to be replaced and only cause unnecessary work if they are replaced.
But I'm not going to get into another argument here just because I disagree with something. Do what you want and I'll do what I have to do. Right now I have to deal with 237,000 missing messages and a possibly corrupted backup because the compact message bug hit while a backup was in progress.
I have a seriously broken forum right now.]]>BobB2006-07-18T01:07:55-00:00Re: error in compacting messages

I have lost OVER TEN YEARS worth of material and a crucial part of my business.
Was there ever a warning issued about this? Searching this forum after the fact reveals that several others have fallen victim to this. Was no one warned? I had no reason to search this forum before running the message compactor because I had no reason to suspect it would result in a total disaster.
Looking through my own records, I see I ran the message compactor after the intitial install of the FUD software and the transfer of messages from the previous forum with no such problem. I did do an upgrade after that. At what point did this disasterous version of the message compactor appear? Was it not tested before that version was released?
My situation is compounded because of backup problems, so I have a real mess on my hands that is going to take a lot of time and effort to resolve. My forum will probably never be the same again. The backup problems are on my end, but wouldn't exist if the message compactor hadn't wreaked the havoc it did.
I'm sorry, but this really, really sucks!

As far as disk space issue thing, it can be caused by one of two things:
1) Forum does not have write permissions for messages/ directory or the msg_* files found within.
2) You are running with mbstring where function overload is enabled.]]>Ilia2006-07-19T14:43:02-00:00Re: error in compacting messages

The buggy version of the compactor was present in early 2.7 series releases and was fixed by about 2.7.3 release if my memory serves me right.
A warning should be prominently posted. Don't assume that no one is running earlier versions. I'm only the most recent one to fall victim to this. There could be others in the future. In my case, this is extremely damaging to my business, making it look bad while making the competition look good. It would take about a minute to post one using the announcement manager. There have been many lawsuits over the lack of warning about something dangerous.

This does not explain why this one forum is no longer accepting posts while all the others are OK. It also does not explain why this one forum was fine before running the Data Corrupter (since you've changed "FAQ" to "Help", I'm changing "Message Compactor" to "Data Corrupter").
I've enlisted a data recovery expert to look at my situation. I hope he can help.

?! in what kind of world do you live?
can you tell me what you pay for using FUDforum?
And by the way, I think they try to give there best and new versions come because they are an improvement I think.]]>y0shi2006-07-19T18:06:06-00:00Re: error in compacting messages

I have paid you money, lots of it, and you know it. I would have contributed more if your customer service was friendly and helpful instead of smug and insulting. Besides, something doesn't have to cost anything in order to do great damage. Did anyone pay for Hurricane Katrina?
In what kind of world do you live where changing "FAQ" to "Help" is more important than preventing great harm??
That's all I have to say on this. I need to try to save my business and my livelihood from this disaster.]]>BobB2006-07-19T18:31:05-00:00
