Database Error and No Argument Warning Error

[Amaury]

These are things I started seeing today, most likely from when we upgraded from 4.1.10 to 4.1.11 on Sunday.

This happens when saving the order of your styles.

This happens in the Style Variable Editor for any style, including vBulletin's default.

It should be noted, though, that neither are causing problems. For the first one, it still saves; for the second one, the changes still go through. I'm just wondering what they're from.

If an official vBulletin staff member needs a test administrator account, let me know, and I can PM you.

[Lynne]

Run Maintenance > Diagnostics > Suspect File Versions. Do any *default* vbulletin files show up as Not Containing Expected Contents? If so, reupload all your default vbulletin files making sure they all get uploaded.

If you still have issues, try disabling your modifications/plugins and see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit includes/config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Here are the results, Lynne. :)

I excluded the "File not recognized as part of vBulletin" since you said those were normal.

[Lynne]

That says you have no uploaded all the 4.1.11 files. I'd suggest reuploading all the files and then verify they were all uploaded by running Suspect File Versions again.

[Amaury]

I'll inform our owner right away.

Thanks, Lynne.

Check the /includes directory and look for any files named md5_sums_*.php The only one provided in vbulletin is md5_sums_vbulletin.php. If you have one like md5_sums_vbulletinsuite.php (or similar), then remove it and then run Suspect File Versions again.

Thank you, I'll let Sean know.

Edit: He got 'em removed, but when trying to run Suspect File Versions, I get this: Unable to read MD5 sums from file includes/md5_sums_vbulletin.php

[Lynne]

Did he delete that one too? You need to leave that one there.

hey lynne this is dark lycan the owner of the site that amaury is having trouble with, I just wanted to tell you I did not see any md5_sums_vbulletinsuite.php file in my includes folder on my server, the only md5 file is md5_sums_vbulletin.php.=/

If so, and you are getting a bunch of "File does not contain expected contents", then you need to redownload a totally fresh copy of the site and reupload them ALL (keep your config.php file) and then verify they all were uploaded OK by running Suspect File Version again. And make sure all text files are uploaded in ASCII and all images in Binary (most ftp applications will do this automatically).

Well it turns out I took care of all the mismatched files and everything seems to be working ok as far as I'm aware.^ ^ dunno what amaury's answer will be though.=/

edit: Also sorry for the late reply, didn't see that you had replied.=/

Yes, the mismatches are out of the way, but we have a lot of "File does not contain expected contents" results, which we don't want.

[Dark Lycan]

oh kk well I'm too exausted from work today to replace them today so I will do it first thing tomorrow.^ ^

[Amaury]

Question, Lynne. If Sean (Dark Lycan) installs a fresh vBulletin, will we lose our forum information (styles, threads, posts, etc.)?

[Lynne]

If you install a fresh vbulletin installation, then you won't be using the forum database and therefore won't have any of the forum information.

[Amaury]

If you install a fresh vbulletin installation, then you won't be using the forum database and therefore won't have any of the forum information.

So, wait, I'm confused. Isn't that what you said to do? If we do that, though, we lose our information.

[Lynne]

I said to reupload all the default vbulletin files, not install a fresh vbulletin forum.

[Amaury]

I said to reupload all the default vbulletin files, not install a fresh vbulletin forum.

Oh, okay. We'll keep our information that way.

[Amaury]

Just making a note here that our owner upgraded us to 4.1.12 today, and all of the unexpected contents stuff disappeared. We've got a few mismatches, but those can be easily fixed.
