    config file contents :(



  • bobthemanbobtheman ✭
    ive tried to use the default config file, i added my hostname pwd username .. didnt work
  • bobthemanbobtheman ✭
    dont have a backup of my config file available
  • bobthemanbobtheman ✭
    ive restored my database from a backup, change my pwd, chmod'd my conf files, updated a new config-defaults with my new info, still doesnt work. Its going to the installer page, what else should i try?
  • LincLinc Admin
    Pretty sure this is a known bug that causes improper writing to the config file under certain circumstances.

    You have to reinstall because you've lost your unique installation ID. That shouldn't mess up your forum as the install doesn't wipe the database.

    k one sec i'll give it a try

    update GDN_User User set Name = :Name, Password = md5(:Password), Email = :Email, ShowEmail = :ShowEmail, Gender = :Gender, DateOfBirth = :DateOfBirth, DateFirstVisit = :DateFirstVisit, DateLastActive = :DateLastActive, DateInserted = :DateInserted, DateUpdated = :DateUpdated, Admin = :Admin, UserID = :UserID The error occurred on or near: /home/content/35/6109435/html/guayadeque/forums/library/database/class.database.php 225: 226: if (!is_object($PDOStatement)) { 227: trigger_error(ErrorMessage('PDO Statement failed to prepare', $this->ClassName, 'Query', $this->GetPDOErrorMessage($this->Connection()->errorInfo())), E_USER_ERROR); 228: } else if ($PDOStatement->execute($InputParameters) === FALSE) { 229: trigger_error(ErrorMessage($this->GetPDOErrorMessage($PDOStatement->errorInfo()), $this->ClassName, 'Query', $Sql), E_USER_ERROR); 230: } 231: } else { 232: $PDOStatement = $this->Connection()->query($Sql); 233: }

    then a backtrace

    i think its because im using my same email and username... but if i use a different one im going to have a hard time applying updates because of that dang user id=1 thing
  • LincLinc Admin
    Trying to re-create the admin user died. Did the install complete otherwise?
  • bobthemanbobtheman ✭
    tried a new username and email, same error
  • LincLinc Admin
    Pro tip: It's not actually a userid=1 thing, it's that the 'Admin' column is set to '1' for the first user. You can manually set Admin to 1 for any user and they because a superadmin.
  • bobthemanbobtheman ✭
    url points back to install page. and i dont follow you. are you saying make an admin user with the name "died" ?
  • LincLinc Admin
    Maybe try sticking this in config.php (inserting appropriate values between single quotes wherever it says 'x here'). PS: This is purely a guess on my part.

    $Configuration['Database']['Name'] = 'dbname here'; $Configuration['Database']['Host'] = 'dbhost here'; $Configuration['Database']['User'] = 'dbuser here'; $Configuration['Database']['Password'] = 'dbpass here'; $Configuration['EnabledApplications']['Conversations'] = 'conversations'; $Configuration['EnabledApplications']['Vanilla'] = 'vanilla'; $Configuration['EnabledPlugins']['HtmLawed'] = 'HtmLawed'; $Configuration['Garden']['Cookie']['Salt'] = '10 random letters here'; $Configuration['Garden']['Cookie']['Domain'] = ''; $Configuration['Garden']['Installed'] = TRUE; $Configuration['Garden']['InstallationID'] = md5('random phrase here'); $Configuration['Garden']['InstallationSecret'] = md5('different random phrase here');
  • bobthemanbobtheman ✭
    tried using my original admin info, and an entirely new set of user info, no luck

    No, I was explaining what happened. It failed at the step of creating the admin user.
  • bobthemanbobtheman ✭
    wont my prior salt and md5 need to match .. or else my old user accounts wont be able to log in?
  • bobthemanbobtheman ✭
    tried it anyways, no luck :(
  • bobthemanbobtheman ✭
    do you think i would have any luck with a fresh install and try to link to my old database ?
  • bobthemanbobtheman ✭
    maybe delete the admin user from the database ?
