Bugs/musings on clean install to FAQ2 site.
Installed completely fresh, into a new directory and database.

1) no path errors to note, except for one extra /cgi-bin/ in one of the URLs

2) On import, I got the following errors, apparantly on Users table:
Import error: WARNING: Unable to execute query `INSERT INTO Users (Name, Username, Password, Email, Validation, Status, Chief_Editor, Chief_Editor) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)' (SomeUserName): Column 'Chief_Editor' specified twice

16 error lines were generated, 6 records were imported (not counting the default admin).

This database is in a different database, so it seems there is an off-by-one error in that new routine.

3) I re-indexed, and ran dynamic. No apparant problems.

4) The main page is _NOT_ showing the correct link count. It shows the links in the next sub level, not _TOTAL_ sub links.
It shows on 43 links via the counts, but declares 236 links are available.

5) Reindex said re-indexing 238 links. The main page reports 236 links available. MySQL reports 240 entries in the Links table.

6) Error message on add.html -
"Please visit category first.." etc, when no category selected.
This should really be "No category selected" if db_gen_category is on.

7) How do you enable Days_Old functionality?

8) It also seems the categories and links are calculated as "new" differently.

9) Newlines are stripped out of the displayed templates

Hey pugdog, what was the command line you used to import (based on the new import script)

Thanks.

Try using:

Code:

perl nph-import.cgi


Use Ctrl-D for additional options.

I ran the import from the URL/web, not via telnet.

You can access the import directly from the admin area, or from the url to

/cgi-bin/admin/nph-import.cgi

Hi Pugdog,

Is it possible for you to mysqldump that database and email it to me for testing?

Cheers,

Alex
