I have my private message file and database all out of sync...
Would it be safe to delete everything from the fud21_pmsg table and set the private file back to 0 length to get it working again? Or will it break something else?
I tried running the consistancy checker and it didn't seem to fix anything and as it is now all private messages show up as having no text even though I see the text in the private file.
Thanks!!

If you remove all data from the fud_pmsg table that'll allow you to start from scratch as far as private messages are concerned. Do you know what caused the 2 to get out of sync originally?

When people delete messages the data file is not modified. It is only modified if you run the compactor script. The error you describe could be result of incorrect permissions. I suspect when you moved the server the private file was created in such a way that the webserver could not read/write to it.

Create a new private message, once that is done, go to your MySQL and get the info on the last entry inside the pmsg table. Specifically look @ the offset and length fields.

It's weird, the ofset is correct, but the length is being set as 0!
| 12720 | DAI '03; | 1 | 1 | 0 | 216.98.166.146 | NULL | 1067801700 | 1067801711 | No-Msg.gif | Y | INBOX | Test again | 0 | Y | N | N | 675 | 0 | N | NULL |
BTW:
Even though ther is a No-Msg.gif icon, there was some text entered into the message body!

That would be the cause of the problem....
I suspect your forum is affected by a bug in the old private message writing code that is triggered on some PHP versions.
If you can paste me the private message writing code from your forum (private.inc.t), I could suggest an alternative.

1) In the future please do not paste files into messages, attach them instead it makes my life much easier.
As for the fix try the following, replace this:
<?php
unction write_pmsg_body($text)
{
$fp = fopen($GLOBALS['MSG_STORE_DIR'].'private', 'ab');
if( !($s = ftell($fp)) ) $s = __ffilesize($fp);
fwrite($fp, $text);
fflush($fp);
$len = (ftell($fp)-$s);
fclose($fp);
if( !$s ) chmod($GLOBALS['MSG_STORE_DIR'].'private', 0600);
return array($s,$len);
}
?>
with
<?php
$fp = fopen($GLOBALS['MSG_STORE_DIR'].'private', 'ab');
fseek($fp, 0, SEEK_END);
if (!($s = ftell($fp))) {
$s = __ffilesize($fp);
}
if (($len = fwrite($fp, $text)) !== strlen($text)) {
exit("FATAL ERROR: system has ran out of disk space
\n");
}
fclose($fp);
return array($s, $len);
?>
However, I'd strongly recommend upgrading your FUDforum version.
