On m2f v2.0 running on Fedora 11 + php5 + phpBB3 + MySQL, unexplained failure to add a new user to an existing User List as shown on attached screenshot.

Existing User List is displayed all right before attempting to add new user.

New user e-mail address works.

Didn't find anything wrong while inspecting database files user.*, userlist.* and userlistuser.* with suffixes MYD, MYI and frm in m2f mysql database directory
/var/lib/mysql/m2f_2_0/

Checked that no access problems (authentication, disk space) could prevent updating of current database files.

Please note that "Add a new User List" fails likewise. Looks like "Add" anything is broken.

Strange since I've been running m2f 2.0 for several years without any problem.

Has anybody got similar problem(s) ?

Hi icormeau!

Well, I thought no one was actually using this I'm sorry I can't think what could went wrong... did you take a peek at the c_user.php file?

I monitor the list, hoping and praying for progress.

Hello Pda0,

I replaced c_user.php (-rw-r--r-- size=6420) with a backup copy I have on an idle backup forum that was created on another computer running Ubuntu. It didn't change anything on the active forum, while the "Add user" feature works perfectly well on the backup forum. Hence nothing wrong with c_user.php.

I suspect some problem related to file access rights but so far comparing active & backup forums didn't show anything wrong in this respect.

Maybe some file is damaged? Tried to manually update m2f_2_0 database in /var/lib/mysql using standard MySQL cli:

-) added one line in (3 columns) "m2f_user" table with new 'id', new 'name' & new 'email' entries ;

-) incremented by one (single-column) "m2f_seq_user" table ;

-) listed & checked contents of both modified tables and quit MySQL cli.
From the above I conclude that mysql m2f_2_0 database is undamaged.

Revisited m2f/admin : nothing changed, User List doesn't show added entries, m2f still fails to "Add new User" in existing User List. Maybe other tables in m2f_2_0 database must be synced with above changes?

Uhm, maybe.

I actually don't think the file itself is corrupted; I meant to suggest looking into the c_user.php and tracing why could that error arise, in the code.

Btw did you try with another browser?
