Your phpBB Version: 1.4.1
phpBB Type: Integramod 141
MODs: No
Your knowledge: Basic Knowledge
Board URL: http://www.rpghq.org

PHP Version:
MySQL Version:


What was done before the problem appeared?
I installed 1.4.1 as a fresh install and copied all my databases over


What was done to try to solve the problem?
I changed the CHMOD of the knowledge base config file from 644 to a 666, and then to a 777 and it still will not save any changes



De.scription and Message

I installed a fresh copy of 1.4.1 and copied most of my databases from my 1.4.0 install into the new one including the Knowledge Base tables. When I select a category in KB, I get the following message

[code]Could not obtain article data  DEBUG MODE  SQL Error ]

So I thought to myself 'Self, this looks like you need to go in and make a few changes, like where the KB is looking for the threads'

Well, I went in and behold, I was right. KB is looking somewhere completely different for the articles, so I changed them. All was well, until I went back into and noticed, still pointing to wrong threads. Tried 2 more times, but each time, it looks like it saves then goes right back to defaults.

So I figured I'd just re-do the posts and see if that fixed it, but whenj I went to create a new article, I had no smilies, no BBCode, no HTML or anything to format my text. So I went back into the config and enabled my formatting options, yet when I went back in to see that my changes took, they hadn't. My permissions saved fine, but the text formatting stuff all goes back to disabled after I submit it.

For some reason it sounds like your KB didn't get updated properly and you're missing some db tables or column.

Can you do me a favor and export all the kb db tables to a file and make it available for download?

That way I can compare them to what they should look like and provide you with something you can use in phpmyadmin to fix the problem.

I took a look at my tables and you were right! They didn't match up! I made a new install and exported the KB config from that into my database and it seems to be working great now.

Thanx!! you rock!
