Hi,
I installed RC5 this week from CVS. I thought I had left out the "1' for zlib compression when I built the install script, but apparently not. My FDIforum/errors/sql_errors logfile looks like compressed text.
I have not yet finished the configuration of the forum yet. Is there a way I can turn off compression still?I assume this is why the file is not readable messages?
while I am basically testing a RC version I'd prefer to have everything in plain text to aid debugging and recovery from a crash. Last night I somehow accidently deleted the database password and the forum php code was reporting errors. I couldn't read the sql_errors file because the forum wasn't working..
If my understanding is correct that the logfile is partly compressed, IMO that's wrong. Logfiles are critical and need to be always readable. What system tool could I use to read the FUDform sql_errors logfile externally? Please consider keeping the logfile plain text. The sysadmin can run a log compressor/rotator if desired.
Thanks,
Brett

The sql_errors is not affected by the installer or zlib compression in anyway. The file is not compressed by is actually base64 encoded ALWAYS. You can use the FUDforum's error viewer admin control panel to view it.
