new installation and import of old "core data" [message #29873]

Hi,

I have currently running version 2.6.6 and I'm not really happy with it. It is pretty unstable, has bugs and I think that the database consistancy is not given any more or something else in the data is messed up, so that the users get strange errors (e.g. for searching). That is a result of a few migrations and also 1 complete crash.

I'd like to update to a version that is really STABLE and shows the least know bugs (or none Smile

).

1) I'm thinking version 2.6.15 is my choice - or is there a version that is better/more stable?

2) Is there any way to import just the basic data like members, threads, attachments, polls ... and rebuild tables like e.g. the search table manually?

I'm myself a php developer, so even a solution that needs a bit "footwork" is fine for me. I would really appreciate any help that i can get.

Thanks in advance,

Philipp

The stablest release would be 2.7.4RC1 at this point and RC2 that will be out this week would be even more stable. As far as importing data into the forum you can use FUDAPI for this purpose (fudapi.inc.php) available in later releases.

Search table rebuilding can be done via rebuild control panel, if you want to do it manually that's where you can borrow code from.

Hello,

Thank you Ilia for your response. I will then wait for the RC2.

Is this API already included in RC2 as well? Does it allow to import selective data - opposing to the import datadump functionality in earlier versions?

FUDAPI has been around for a few versions now, it provides functions to importing an extracting data from the forum.

hi ilia,

i just installed the rc2. I looked at the fudapi and decided that i will first try to migrate the whole data to the new verison.
So i did a datadump of the old version and tried to import it into the rc2 one. I got following error:

(/myiisfolder/subsys/forum/include/theme/default/db.inc:78
/myiisfolder/subsys/forum/include/theme/default/db.inc:150
/myiisfolder/subsys/forum/adm/admimport.php:116
) 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query

why did that happen and how can i fix it?
The export ended with "Processing directory: /myiisfolder/forum/images/avatars" and not with a "DONE" or something like that. I don't know if it worked properly as well. Please help as soon as possible - the old forum is offline at this point of time!

Thanks in advance,

Philipp

The error looks to be a MySQL timeout, you may want to raise the timeout value for the duration of the import.

Hi Ilia,

i took myself time to think about what you wrote last. The problem is that I'm not hosting myself, have no ssh access on that server and no root privileges. So i can't change the mysql timeout directly on the server.

I searched the web and found nothing except "mysqli_options" (MYSQLI_OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT) what seems to be the wrong option anyway. Do you know how i can change the mysql timeout via script or mysql-shell? Maybe something similiar than "ini_set" for php?

Thank you,

Philipp

MySQL timeout canno be changed via php settings, since it is a mysql configuration option. Check the MySQL manual, you maybe able to do it on a per-connection basis via the SET command.

Hello Ilia,

hard to find - but finally i have something that sounds a bit like it: wait_timeout -> http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server-system-variables.html (the last one on the page)

But I'm still not so sure if that is the right setting.
By the way, can you tell me direction please on where i have to put something like that in the FUD code for the import?

Thanks,

Philipp

wait_timeout sounds like the option you are looking for.
You can put a query to execute this setting at the top of the import script, below fud_use() lines.

Hi Ilia,

neither of both - the script that i want to import nor the fud forum import script "admimport.php" has a fud_use() line. Which one do you mean and where should i put it instead?

If it helps, i can send you the scripts, just tell me.

Just put the query somewhere right after you establish the database connection.
