I keep getting an error that says "There was a problem installing the database." I don't know why ... any theories on how to fix this?

by **Snykx** » Mon Nov 20, 2006 11:42 am

Open the db.php file inside the inc folder and replace all the text with the following:

Code: Select all: <?php $announce_inistdb = "CREATE TABLE `".ANNOUNCE_TABLE."` ( `ID` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, `title` text character set latin1 NOT NULL, `post` longtext character set latin1 NOT NULL, `date` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00', `active` int(2) NOT NULL default '1', KEY `ID` (`ID`) )";

That should fix the problem.

I log in and then I click "Announcements"

It tells me:
The announcements database hasn't been installed yet!
If you are an admin, you can log in to install it now.

Then I click log in and it tells me:
The announcements database hasn't been installed yet!
You can install it now.

So I click Install it now and it tells me:
There was a problem installing the database.

Not sure what is up but I'm getting dizzy. LOL

I'm sorry for being a nag but this addon really could help me out a ton! Thank you in advance for any help you can offer!

Is this AddOn still alive? I hope it is, for I think it seems really useful. Somewhere I read that in the next version it would be possible to present the announcements on the front page, and people would not have to click the 'announce' button. Is that release soon here :-) (really looking forward to that)

I have stopped playing WoW. I will work on a new version of Announcements if there's enough interest. I was actualy on here just the other day looking at new things.

Anyways, does anyone else find this plug in useful?

Well, it is probably no surprise, but I'm certainly interested ;-)

I am getting this error

Detected invalid access to this file!

That error is the result of the installation process of WoW Roster itself not being completed. Did you have a working WoW Roster prior to installing announcements?

I cant assure you that Announcements 0.2 will work with 1.7.3. It was created with 1.7.0, and updated when 1.7.3.

Here's the issue. I can update this and improve it, but I don't play WoW anymore. So, creating a working Wowroster installation is impossible. If anyone wanting this upgraded feels like populating the database, http://wuss.onovia.com/roster/ It's a fresh install, and the password is demo. Set it up like you would setup your own, and reply here.

Thanks JKibbles. I'll start on it today.

I was wondering what the status is on this addon? I have tried installing it on 1.7.3 but received the database error. I manually created the database, but it didn't work either.

Thanks

I have this addon working on my roster and I must say I like it. After I installed it tho, my "Title" column on the roster now says "Announcements". Does anyone have an idea how to fix this. I'm kind of new to PHP.

Here is a link to my roster
