I am receiving the following error whenever I make a post. 

Unable to fetch search index words

I receive the same error trying to rebuild the search index.  Is this an SQL error or an error with the webhost?  (The webhost recently installed mod-security on their servers and I jave been receiving internal server errors on various websites with forums running punbb, phpbb and invision power board when making a post - apparently they have to confugure things and include your forum on a white list)

Just wondering if it is possible somehow to allow google video to be embedded in posts without compromising security

the code they give you looks like this:

<embed style="width:400px; height:326px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=-8502085668185099812&hl=en"> </embed>

This is the second webhost that i use to disable this.  On the first webhost alot of things do not work....stats, newsfeeds using rss etc in phpnule no longer work.  And in another site using wordpress in the admin the wordpress news fails to show.  Will this change that my other webhost is also implementing affect blogcms and pubb?



"This is to let you know that as from 1 Feb 2006 the setting "register_globals" in php will be disabled.

This setting has been disabled by default for sometime as it poses security issues in certain php scripts.

Unfortunately if you site needs the "register_globals" enabled you will need to recode the script.

If you are using third party scripts, you are advised to get the most recent release, as most well known php scripts have already been recoded to work with the new php default settings.

We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause you"

Is it possible to have the post title also inserted into the description and keyword meta tags?
This seems to get posts into the search engines and bring traffic to sites.

Ok...I seem to have the forum_perm table in my sql dump.
Deleted that changed the first line of the upgrade script and ran it and got the following error:

File: /home/www/ulterDfi/forum/11_to_12_update.php
Line: 185

PunBB reported: Unable to alter DB structure.

Database reported: Duplicate column name 'language' (Errno: 1060)


So I started from scratch again but deleted line 185 of the upgrade script and so far it seems to have worked.

these seem to be the tables i have in the database regarding pubbb 1.1.7
the forum perms must have been from the test install of newer version
i started from scratch again with 1.1.7 installed the upgrade script says it cannot upgrade my version only 1.1, 1.5 etc even if i rename the version in the config table and delete the contents of cache directory.

any suggestions?

are there any conversion tools to say phpbb which i could try and then convert back to punbb2?

I`m still having trouble with this.  I have tested installing the latest Blog CMS and punbb on a server with mysql 3.23.56 and it works ok but I still cannot get punbb1.1.7 converted.  If I change the config table "version" from 1.1.7 to anything else like 1.1 or 1.1.5 and run the upgrade script to upgrade to 1.2 i still get the same error message saying that the script can only convert punbb 1.1, 1.5 etc

any ideas?

I just tried a complete reinstall with a brand new database (so more or less an empty databse) ran the upgrade script for 1.1.5 to 1.2 and got
File: /home/www/euroauto/forum/11_to_12_update.php
Line: 185

PunBB reported: Unable to alter DB structure.

Database reported: Duplicate column name 'language' (Errno: 1060)

I have this same problem.

i also note at th ebottom of phpmyadmin it also says
"The additional Features for working with linked Tables have been deactivated. To find out why click here."

I dont know a big deal about he coding or sql.

if i try to access the forum i now get
"Notice: Undefined index: o_default_lang in /home/www/euroauto/forum/include/functions.php on line 122
There is no valid language pack '' installed. Please reinstall a language of that name."

There is a folder called lang/English

I assume this is the labguage folder

Ok simply went to the mysql table and changed the version number according to Radek.

Ok.  i tried that and get the following when running the upgrade script to update to punbb1.2

File: /home/www/euroauto/forum/11_to_12_update.php
Line: 127

PunBB reported: Unable to create table forum_perms. Please check MySQL permissions and try again.

Database reported: Table 'forum_perms' already exists (Errno: 1050)

I can`t upgrade Blog CMS.  Every version since the one I have installed requires Mysql 4.  None of the webhosts I use have any plans to upgrade to Mysql 4.  They are all using Mysql  3.23.17.

Not so sure it is a bug.  I have Blog CMS installed along with PunBB 1.1.7 Blog CMS Edition.  Since Blog CMS went to requiring MySQL 4 I have been unable to upgrade as my hosts are using Mysql 3.23.17 and do not intend to upgrade at the moment.
I would however like to upgrade PuBB.  I downloaded 1.2.6, read the instal notes and downloaded 1.2 and followed the instructions to upgrade from 1.1.*.  When running the 11_to_12_update.php file I get the error message

"PunBB reported: Version mismatch. This script updates version 1.1 and 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 and 1.1.5 to version 1.2. The database 'euroauto' doesn't seem to be running a supported version."

Is there anyway I can upgrade my forums?
