Sorry for double posting in this thread. But can someone please suggest a fix for this? I need it badly

[@thebigk Participant 17 years, 1 month ago]

Thanks a ton for your answer. You rock, Andy

Take it down? That’s what I’m saying. How do I take the site down? Is there any option in wpmu?

Or shall I create a index.html with my outage message and drop it in the root directory of wpmu?

[@thebigk Participant 17 years, 1 month ago]

Thanks

The user activity tables that existed in RC1 have been deleted in RC2. So I was wondering if the upgrade script for v 1.0 will support the missing RC2 step.

[@thebigk Participant 17 years, 1 month ago]

I wish I were a developer. Right now, all I can do is – knock knock!

anyone listening?

[@thebigk Participant 17 years, 1 month ago]

So I found out that if I change “is_confirmed” field in wp_bp_friends, the friendship gets confirmed.

However, since there is not button displayed in the profile now; what will happen if I delete the rows from wp_bp_friends table? It will simply delete the friendship requests, right?

We seriously need you, Burt!

[@thebigk Participant 17 years, 1 month ago]

Burt, please fix this! Please

[@thebigk Participant 17 years, 1 month ago]

Ahoy!

Do I need to make any changes to make Burt\’s mod work on RC2 ?

And…will this prevent the search engine bots from grabbing member profile information?

[@thebigk Participant 17 years, 1 month ago]

Umm..hello!

[@thebigk Participant 17 years, 1 month ago]

Thanks a lot for the information

[@thebigk Participant 17 years, 1 month ago]

Andy –

Thanks a ton You rock!

I tried deleting those tables viz. wp_user_xx_activity & wp_user_xx_activity_catched on my local installation and everything seems to be working fine.

Can someone please confirm if deleting them from live site won’t cause any problem? I guess only the ‘activity’ part is wiped off; which is ok.

[@thebigk Participant 17 years, 1 month ago]

Of course I know how to backup database and restore it. However, the normal database backup does not work for me. I get following error:

mysqldump: mysqldump: Couldn’t execute ‘show table status like ‘wp\_user\_999\_friends\_activity\_cached”: Out of memory (Needed 2093952 bytes) (5)

mysqldump: mysqldump: Couldn’t execute ‘show table status like ‘wp\_user\_999\_friends\_activity\_cached”: Out of memory (Needed 2093952 bytes) (5)

I tried restoring an older version of the backup of live site on my test site setup using XAMPP on my desktop. I get “Fatal Error”

Fatal Error

If your blog does not display, please contact the owner of this site.

If you are the owner of this site please check that MySQL is running properly and all tables are error free.

Could Not Find Blog!

Searched for localhost.localdomain/rkn/ in wordpressmu::wp_blogs table. Is that right?

What do I do now?

Read the bug report page. Some of the guidelines there may help you figure out what went wrong.

If you’re still stuck with this message, then check that your database contains the following tables:

wp_blogs

wp_users

wp_usermeta

wp_site

wp_sitemeta

wp_sitecategories

If you suspect a problem please report it to the support forums but you must include the information asked for in the WPMU bug reporting guidelines!

I tried backup using SSH – it timed out (because there are 4500+ rows (almost) ) [ error was something like “Ran out of memory” ]

Surprizingly, phpmyadmin allowed me to backup the database and also restore it – but when restore was complete – I couldn’t see the old things up there. Duh!

Right now, I’m trying to setup a test site using the database from my live site. What’d be the procedure to do it?

[@thebigk Participant 17 years, 1 month ago]

@John: I’m in a fix now. I already have 1700 user data. I’m running RC1 with WPMU 2.7.

I’m not able to backup the database because of timeouts …and upgrading without backup is going to be a HUGE risk

I also found out that backups restored through phpMyadmin don’t work!

Shall I start repainting my decision to use buddypress? Or is there any ray of hope?

[@thebigk Participant 17 years, 1 month ago]

I’m running RC1. If I remove them, only the user activity track will be lost – is that right? Or will there be some effect on the overall functionality?

[@thebigk Participant 17 years, 1 month ago]

Hi Burtadsit : Yes, upgrade is the best option. I want few temporary fixes to keep few idiots in our network from being smart.

[@thebigk Participant 17 years, 1 month ago]

I’ll try it. I added the filter to groups page and the script does not appear when the group home page is visited. however, when loading the groups page [through the groups button], the script still appears

PS: I’ll upgrade very soon.

[@thebigk Participant 17 years, 1 month ago]

Hi Burtadsit – the user has added the same script to his profile as well. Can I add the code to profiles page too? If yes, what would be the code and where exactly do I add it?

{PS: You are a rockstar! }

[@thebigk Participant 17 years, 1 month ago]

@ Burtadsit: Thanks a ton for all your help. I just got my link up! YO!

[@thebigk Participant 17 years, 1 month ago]

The miscreant is using following script in the Group Name:

<script>alert(‘XX – XX rocks !’)</script>

Can someone suggest a quick fix for this?

[@thebigk Participant 17 years, 1 month ago]

But isn’t this very harmful? I guess scripts can be used to hack the site as well?

[@thebigk Participant 17 years, 1 month ago]

RC1

I hope the RC2 & V1 have taken care of this problem.
