phpMyFAQ

Are you adding a new article from Admin Panel or are you adding a comment from a User Page? Looks like the latter, but let's hear!

Looks very much like a database error! What database and version are you using? Have you been working on the database using other frontends? Could you have deleted an ...

The problem is that you will have to re-map the datatypes when changing database systems. Some dataypes - even a simple thing as varchars for instance - on SQL server and MySQL are not the same!

If you export you will have to edit the .sql-file.

The tool that MySQL released is not as easy to use at all.

I have had this spam occasionally too, but never had problems deleting it from Admin Panel.

Also blocking the ip of the spammer has worked OK here.

Maybe this is a request for the future. And maybe a request for a trick.

I would like to have primary/secondary language support. This shall be understood like this:

Did you enter the data containing \\ before or after the upgrade to 1.5.5 ?
What does the database contain ??
Is it a MySQL database ??

2)
Also: is it possible to ban a group of IP's like IP sharing the first three ...

I think I should implement an online update which updates phpMyFAQ by itself.

I would never rely on it!

Next time I will try what jazcyk does and put it in the same location with a different name ie: faq and newfaq

I'll just remind you of one thing: While you are finishing /newfaq new entries probably are writen to the session logs. So if you want your session logs complete. then copy the session ...

Do you have any add's/popups that must be transferred from another server on the index page?

yes I did run the update script!

I might be OK now. Before the update the database contained 'double backslashes' "\\", where it should be a single one (however it was displyed correctly as one by PMF). I maually removed the redundant one from the base and it is now displayed correctly by PMF 1.5.5 ...

so you won't see the error in the FAQ anymore.

After upgrading to 1.5.5 I experience that MySQL escape charcter is not 'respected'. this FAQ http://www.webyog.com/faq/28_73_en.html

privileges are the same OK. But are ownership(s ...
