Query failed

Post by Xanthouos »

Hello,

It's been awhile since I've had issues with my favorite online app :-)

I think the "client" meddled with the ftp/files or something, and broke the site.

I changed mysql PW, and uploaded the newest release.

Went through the upgrade processes, and in the end had this error:
We detected some errors while running some diagnostics on your entered information:

-

ALTER TABLE serendipity_authors ADD COLUMN hashtype int(1);

/ No database selected

ALTER TABLE serendipity_authors CHANGE password password VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL;

/ No database selected


Your Serendipity installation is now upgraded to version 1.5.4
The site itself displays the following:
Query failed:

e.id,
e.title,
e.timestamp,
e.comments,
e.exflag,
e.authorid,
e.trackbacks,
e.isdraft,

a.realname AS author,
a.username AS loginname,

serendipity_entries AS e
LEFT JOIN serendipity_authors a

c.categoryid IS NULL
OR ( acl_acc.groupid = 0)
OR ( acl_acc.artifact_id IS NULL

)
)
GROUP BY e.id

ORDER BY timestamp DESC
LIMIT 15

/ No database selected
I tried from phpmydamin to update the DB file from the latest DB from the SQL folder in the downloaded upgrade, and got the following error in phpmyadmin:
CREATE TABLE {PREFIX}authors(
realname varchar( 255 ) NOT NULL default '',
username varchar( 32 ) default NULL ,
PASSWORD varchar( 64 ) default NULL ,
authorid{AUTOINCREMENT}{ PRIMARY },
mail_comments int( 1 ) default '1',
mail_trackbacks int( 1 ) default '1',
email varchar( 128 ) NOT NULL default '',
userlevel int( 4 ) {UNSIGNED} NOT NULL default '0',
right_publish int( 1 ) default '1',
hashtype int( 1 ) default '0'
){UTF_8};

MySQL said: Documentation
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '{PREFIX}authors (
realname varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
username varcha' at line 1

Thanks for any insight in repairing.

Hi!

"No database selected" would happen if your serendipity_cnfig_local file is missing a proper database name, and so the installer could not execute teh require updates. You would need to set the version to your previous version, check the database name and then re-execute the upgrade...

HTH,

Thank you, worked like a charm!
In recent projects, I've been more in Drupal, but I miss S9Y....am considering for my next assignment ;-)

Keep up the good work. I still have several sites stable, running this awesomeness.

Have a great weekend.

Best,

David
