Undefined type used in the database query. (inet:ip) - after update to Beta 3

[Shkic]

So, update process from Beta 2 to Beta 3 went well, with no errors. But for some reason now I got error on forum:

An Error Has Occurred
Undefined type used in the database query. (inet:ip)

Can't acess even admin panel.

Tried to Google error, but no results so far.

EDIT.

Solved myself. In Settings.php need to change from:

$db_type = 'mysqli';

to

$db_type = 'mysql';

that might fix it for now, but we are moving toward mysqli, so this needs to be fixed not worked around.

Except that in 2.1 trunk, the code simply refers to it as mysql even if it uses MySQLi.

so then that should not have changed the error that the op is reporting?

[Arantor]

It would, because his install was before the change in beta 3 to do this, and specifically the code in question simply says 'if using "mysql"' it assumes it needs to do something different...

All mysql calls have been converted to mysqli.  There is no distinction between the two anymore.  (PR #3801 & others)

It's actually one of the many things that may not convert correctly between beta versions...  and one of the many reasons why we don't recommend using the beta unless you know what you are doing.

And that beta-to-beta migrations are suspect.   They can get pretty close, but sooner or later, you gotta upgrade from 2.0 to clean everything up.
