Login Hack Produces Database Error

[wdwlegend]

My login hack uses the following code, so i can access the global $vbulletin:

PHP Code:

chdir("./forum/");
require('./global.php'); 
chdir("/"); 


which worked fine on 3.0.7, but on 3.5.0, everythings goes well until the page displays the following at the bottom:

There seems to have been a problem with the Forums database.

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.0 Release Candidate 2:

Invalid SQL:

UPDATE session
SET lastactivity = 1125339316, location = '/index.php', inforum = 0, inthread = 0, incalendar = 0, badlocation = 0
WHERE sessionhash = '2204453e54c5f1e43f9a07ca23fb8562';

MySQL Error : Table 'main.session' doesn't exist
Error Number : 1146
Date : Monday, August 29th 2005 @ 07:15:16

It seems to want to connect to the session table on my "main" database. The database for my site is called: "main", the forum database is called: "main_forum").

Any ideas? Thx

Wrong forum I think.

Make sure that the PHP script you've embedded this does
- Use the same Database as vBulletin
OR
- Use another mySQL Username/Password
OR
- Create a new Link

How would that make any difference?

It worked fine on the old version so any db connections shoudn't be affected.

[Andreas]

Well, don't know.
But fact is: It does change the Database on the same Link vBulletin uses.

It looks like code furthur down in your hack modifies the db object to use the "main" database - you cant do this without causing errors like the above.

Why does is spit the error at the bottom of the page if the request for global is at the start of execution?

Shutdown Queries (Session Update, etc.)
