Database errors

[Bluefin221]

I'm receiving a constant stream of database errors and I'm wondering how I can get rid of them, today when I woke up there was over 700 error reports into my inbox from two sources.

Database error in vBulletin 4.0.5:

The first one is from vbtube which was a 3.x addon and the second vbanonymizer again a 3.x addon, vbanonymizer the links on my forum as shown above still trying to convert the links so that they are anonymous I don't know how to convert them back.

[Bluefin221]

Can anyone help with this or give tips I'm getting tons of these mails a day.

[Videx]

This is one reason I always tell people to completely uninstall 3.x mods before upgrading to vb4. They won't work, and they can only cause trouble.

I did uninstall them, I still get the errors - the first one vbanonymizer all the links in my forum are still pointing towards being anonymous so none work and throw up this error I have no idea how to convert them.

The second one I believe is coming from search engines as none of the videos were linked on my site.

When you uninstalled the mods, did you delete all their files too?

[Videx]

Right. Uninstalling isn't just a matter of hitting the 'uninstall' button. Once you're sure you've gotten rid of the old files, then you can start troubleshooting.

If the one mod left a bunch of malformed links, they shouldn't generate a mysql error, though they won't work. But that could be fixed with a query or search and replace.

[Bluefin221]

database errors are clear, thanks guys I hadn't been removing files just uninstalling. I still have the issue whereby my links are still trying to use vbanonymizer.

If the mod or author is still around there should be an upgrade path. I know with one of my mods - AME I think - the author wrote a small app that updated all the previous links to work with the vb4 version of the mod.

I can't find a vb4 version of the mod unfortunately.

[borbole]

Can you post a link to the 3x version of the mod?

I should say before anyone does the uninstall script does not work and the vb4 version posted within that thread creates new errors.

Just what do the bad links look like? You can't use a simple search and replace to fix them?

What a mess. No wonder even the author can't figure out how to save them.
