Help following clean install of 2.0.15

[Kindred]

It is actually a known bug in the MySQL version that they are using.   Look it up... the bug existed for a few versions and then MySQL fixed it in later versions.

They are partially right...  in a strict environment, the column should have a default value, but MySQL admitted that it was actually a problem and deemed it a bug.

Our forum is now up and running, although their are some issues that I am sure Penelope will address but at least we can post and send PM's until the bells and whistles can get addressed.


Thanks for everyones help.

Happy to hear that the error has been fixed.

Good to hear and also that you can send PM's, couldn't see how the column 'topic_note', as your host was saying, was part of the PM system.

That was strange indeed. As far as I could see at that mod 's code, the custom fieelds that it added were to the board table. It did not add anything to tables related to personal messages.

Next issue after clean install...
Let me know if I should make this a new topic. I'm keeping it simply because this is all a continuation of issues from the clean install.

I am resetting my custom message icons. I had to reupload them through ftp and that went well, though it took awhile for them to repopulate through the system.
I had edited a few of them since originally uploading them years ago--making them clearer. Well my original files were now larger and I uploaded those instead of resizing first. I then fixed that and overwrote them. Great, one of the three that were large is still showing up large and it has been two days.

Initially I thought two of the three were not resizing, but I was using the original name that came with the emoticons--Inhad overwritten some emoticons with my images so that back in 2010 I did not have to actually reset the names in admin, they just looked different. Well when I changed the name just now to the name of the actual image, it showed up with the resized image. Great--though odd that the other file with an identical image, but different name is still showing large.

So I then tried to change the final icon that is showing large to its appropriate name and it errors:

The icon image could not be found in the default theme - please ensure the image has been uploaded and try again.

I have double checked that I uploaded the icons to the correct location--I did a search in cpanel to find all instance of the files and they were in the proper place.
I feel confident I have because the other icons are in that file and working perfectly. I also did a search in cpanel for the files and they were all together (those that work and those that do not work). I then viewed them in cpanel and all the images are the appropriate size--those with emoticon names and my image and those with the names I gave them.

If I have confused antone with this naming and renaming it is pretty simple. Here is an example: angry.gif and Green_Monster.gif are identical images of a green monster face.

Which icon is not working?  Green_Monster.gif and angry.gif are identical, both are 40x40.  The icons must be in /Themes/Curve_Multi_Color/images/post.

Have you tried a) reuploading the file that is misbehaving, b) forcing a refresh of your browser cache?

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Fixed this a while ago, you can mark it solved.

[Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen]

Will do. Mind sharing the solution? What was wrong?

[Sir Osis of Liver]

A variety of glitches involving theme and mod installs.  Missing icons were due to a combination of missing files (I had backups), incorrect paths, and at least one https image link that wouldn't load in http.  She's using Curve Multi Color, the original version installed in /Themes/CurveMultiColor/, newer version installed in /Themes/Curve_Multi_Color/, that didn't help.  And we just had another problem with the mysql bug, prevented them from posting new topics.
