FUD files exist, database doesn't [message #34244] Sun, 15 October 2006 18:42 Go to next message

Hi,

Not sure if this is the correct place for this, so if not, sorry.

I recently ran the upgrade script for the 2.7.6 release. Everything went fine. Yesterday though I started to get the following error:
UNABLE TO WRITE TO SQL LOG FILE
(/3kompanie.org/public_html/forum/index.php:19
) :
Query: Initiating mysql_connect
Server Version: Unknown


Checking this I find out that the database is 0kb in size and has -1 users. All of the FUD files are there, along with the fudforum_archive that was created during the upgrade.

So it looks like I'll have to create the database from scratch. And to make it a real challenge there's no data dump of the MySQL database.

Is there a way to create the tables (maybe using that part of the install script) and then populate the tables with the existing data from the FUD files (maybe a check consistency or something)?

If this seems like clutching at straws ... it is !! Sad

Cheers
Chris

You can try to re-run the upgrade script.

Tried that. Turns out that the database really doesn't exist anymore. Soemthing went terribly wrong when the admins moved the forum to a different server.

Anyway I'm left with having to create the database again and creating the tables from scratch.

In this case your best bet is to simply re-install the forum.

That's what I thought. Teach me not to have a database backup. Sad

Anyway, I installed new and used the import forum datadump to set everything back. This seems to have worked (at least the messages are in the messages dir and the database contains what it's supposed to. Unfortunately when I tried to run the consistency checker I can't login in. admlogin gives me the Only administrators with proper access credentials can login via this control panel error. Yet the password is correct.

Cookies are being set in the correct place. At the moment I can't login to the admin control panel and the forum is disabled.

Any hints greatly appreciated. Smile

You need to use the admin account from the original forum, as all the users were replaced with the ones from the data dump.

I changed the admin password and checked that it worked by getting me into the admin control panel. Then I did the datadump. When I came to do the import everything went fine until the end.

Your current login (admin) is not found in the imported database.
Therefor you'll need to re-login once the import process is complete

Import process is now complete
To finalize the import process you should now run the consistency checker.


I even made sure that the admin password on the new installation was the same as on the old installation.

No matter what password I use I still can't get in and the forum is disabled.

Can select the users_opt column from the users table for the user that is supposedly an admin and post its value here?

The users_opt value is 0.

This is why, it does not work, value of 0 effectively means no access. Can you see if any users have users_opt field matching the following bitmask.

You can get this information by running a query such as this:

SELECT * FROM fud26_users WHERE users_opt & 1048576;

Yes, there are several users with users_opt returned after running the query. The values of the users_opt are anything from -1858780027 to 1389967628. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to the value, or who has a none 0 entry.

If I try to log in as one of these users I get a fatal error message:
Fatal error: SQL Error has occurred, please contact the administrator of the forum and have them review the forum's SQL query log in /home/eme85/domains/85eme.org/FUD/include/core.inc on line 188


I can't look at the query log because the files are 'locked' and I don't have rights to view them. I'm looking at a way of 'unlocking' the files so that I can do some more investigation.

To view the file simply make a small PHP script that'll readfile() the file or make the script chmod the file 666

Okay, I did that and can now view the error directory.

In the sql_errors file I can see an entry saying (I removed the http part of the error lines)
[Referring Page] ..../adm/admloginuser.php?S=&SQ=0
?819 ?1161336543?(FUD/include/theme/default/db.inc:72

) 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1

Looking at the 1064 error for MySQL hints at some sort of version change between the backup and the new situation. I'm going ot investigate that, but if you see anything else that may give me a clue as to what's happening please let me know.

Cheers

The query had failed because the user id field value is missing from the query.

A fix for this can be found in the CVS, you can apply the patch on the users_reg.inc file

Okay, thanks for that. I at least get a bit further along.

Now I'm getting a different error. Basically it's saying one of the tables doesn't exist, yet I know it does and have browsed the contents using phpMyAdmin.

Does the table exist in the "eme85_rdl" database? If it does perhaps the table is corrupt you can try to repair it using "REPAIR TABLE fud26_users" command. If it is fine, you may need to check MySQL permissions to ensure that the user account you are using has access to this table.

Okay the above error seems to have been resolved (Repair seems to have done the trick). However I'm still unable to login as admin and no errors are generated in the error files, or shown on the browser.
