UseBB Community

Hello,

I can't log in with the first user account created. I copy/paste the link in the e-mail and it directs me to the login page. When I log in using the user name and password I get this message:

Your account EricS has not been activated yet. Please check your mail box you've registered with on this forum for instructions on how to activate your account.

Any ideas what's wrong?

hmm make sure you copyed the correct url?

If it still doesn't work, run this query from phpMyAdmin or another mySQL management area.

UPDATE `usebb_members` SET `active` = '1',
`active_key` = '' WHERE `id` =1 LIMIT 1 ;

I think that should work, havent tested it or anything.

Thanks.

It's pretty hard to screw up copy/pase a URL. I'm *pretty sure* I did it right.

I ran the query and now get this error from UseBB:

UseBB General Error
An error was encoutered. We apologize for any inconvenience.

In file functions.php on line 1813:

E_NOTICE - Undefined property: updated_forums

Enable debug mode level 2 to see a backtrace.
This error should probably not have occured, so please report it to the webmaster. Thank you for your help.

If you are the webmaster of this board and you believe this is a bug, please send a bug report.

Hmm i don't see how that query could of caused that error.

I was assuming that your database prefix was usebb_ , is it?

Yes, default.

I have no idea what could have caused this :s, try changing $conf['debug'] to 2 in your config file and post the output here.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: debug_backtrace() in /home/webs/usebb/sources/functions.php on line 258

What version of UseBB are you using and could you also post you php version ?

UseBB 0.7
apache 1.3.23
php 4.1.2
mysql 3.23.49
Redhat 7.3

Isn't MySQL a bit old?

...

He means that the MySQL version you are running is out-dated. Maybe you should considering upgrading?

Yeah, I know what was meant but it should work though: UseBB minimum requirements. I don't really want to upgrade because it part of a whole other interdependant system I'm not technically ready to mess with.

I'm pretty sure that the UseBB minimum requirements arent enought to run the board, you could try to upgrade your php (isnt that hard), this should fix the problem.

When you should activate, you get an email with an activation link. I don't see how you wouldn't get this e-mail.

Normally, UseBB should work with the requirements, but was not tested with that particular MySQL version.

You could activate manually:

UPDATE usebb_members SET active = 1 AND active_key = ''

Backtrace will be deleted from source because it is useless and doesn't work on the minimum requirements.

I know this is off topic but can you walk me through it or do you know of any *good* tutorials? Every time I search for a tutorial on upgrading php I get info about upgrade.php. I'd like to upgrade php, mysql and other things, I'm just not confident enough to do it without an rpm package though. Also, do you know how to make rpm packages so I can distribute packages to others with these same systems?

I forgot the name of the RPM version of apt, but there is one, you can update using it.

Does apt compile source code and handle weird flags or does it just download a bunch of rpm packages?

Apt downloads deb packages, it is for debian and its derivatives. RPM was developed by Red Hat.

My advice is to google around, I found this as one method.
