Hi,

So far I'm very impressed with FUDforum. Some very nice features and the basic install went very easy.

I'm now trying to import NNTP news posts into my forums. I tried with a small test newsgroup first and it worked fine.

Then I tried importing my larger newsgroups 6000+ messages and got some encoding error. Not a valid UTF-8 byte sequence. From another post I read that I must change the PostgreSQL client_encoding settings. I changed mine to 'latin1' and the import continued nicely. Now I hit another problem and have no clue what to do. Also I know nothing about PHP.

Below is my new error.... Any suggestions?

OK, I seem to have solved the problem.

I changes the 'subject' field in the Postgresql database from size 100 to size 200. Not sure what the consequence of that will be, but now the import ran successfully to the end.

Cheers,

That's the correct solution, either chop if off at 100 chars or increase the column's length. I'll ensure it gets fixed before the next release.

I got a similar problem importing another one of my newsgroups. This time it was in the table 'fud30_search' and field 'word'.

I had to increase the string field size from 50 to 100.
