What could stop me modifying database, but allows me to build?
Hi,

I recently moved my database to new servers, and then did a big DMOZ import.

All that went find, but now I'm unable to modify the database through the Links SQL Admin. I can't move categories, edit links, etc. But I can modify templates and build new pages.

It's really strange.

What problem could allow me to modify templates but not links or categories? It's really frustrating - am now up against a dead end and pulling my little, previous remaining hair out.

Any ideas guys/gals?

Ross

A few others have recommended running a "repair" of your database after you import a DMOZ dump.

Buh Bye!

Hi Stealth,

Thanks for the reply. Have clicked on the "Rebuild Tables" link, and it's done its thing.

But still no joy - can't seem to modify links or categories.

Unsure

Anything else this could be? We didn't actually try modifying links since the database move, so it may or may not be related to DMOZ - could just be the database move. But it can connect to the database okay as it builds pages. Crazy

Any other ideas chaps?

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the response. The frustrating thing is that there's no error messages - simply nothing happens. I don't even get a timing out error message.

When attempting to move categories, I get : Querying database... Then nothing after that - it's as if it can't modify the database, but it can read from it okay. I think it must be specific to the Directory tables, as we're running the LinksSQL tables on the same database as vBulletin tables and vBulletin is fine. Does that help? Any ideas what it could be?
