    QUOTE (kevin c @ Apr 9 2003, 08:13 PM)

    My ISP says it is not a cpanel problem because they are running the very latest version it is a problem with MySQL 4.0 and Invision Board. CAn someone please figure this out instead of pointing fingers. I told the same thing to my ISP.

    Rest assured no one is pointing fingers.

    We had been advised that is was due to the mySQL upgrade hosts had performed which was related to cPanel. We can only pass on information we have been told

    Can anyone help me?

    I have had this on another server recently as well and it turned out that a table was just corrupted. Was fixed with the REPAIR TABLE command.

    I had heard that this was a problem with InvisionBoard. While I'm sure there are probably other software out there that experience this problem, I thought it was software related and not a problem with MySQL or CPanel. The only problems we have with clients are those running InvisionBoard. At any rate, I would appreciate a permanent fix for the problem.

    Yes , Invisionboard seems quite a major problems with this but there are over 60 forums/cms programs which do get this error , it seems to only affect mostly the same table db_topics. This error only occurs on boards that are busy as far as I know , but it might happen on smaller ones.

    The problem happens because php takes its own mysql libs (which come with the build) and does not use the actual libs present on the server. For eg, you may be running mysql 4.0.13, but upon recompiling php, check out phpinfo and you will see that the 'client API version' at the bottom will reflect mysql 3.x, it is this incompatibility that causes this problem.

    You need to recompile PHP by specifying in the configure step --with-mysql=/usr so that it picks up the 4.x libs instead. This fixes the problem.

    If there is trouble, it will find me
    Is there a reason the cpanel build uses --with-mysql instead of --with-mysql=/usr ?

    Only solutions is configure php like up?

    or 3.0.x?

    The only "solution" until Buildapache is changed to allow PHP to be built with --with-mysql=/usr is to compile php yourself with that option, and do not choose the php option when running buildapache. You will also want to complete the tweaks to my.cnf posted here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=69070

    We've done that to our install on all of our servers where users have reported error 1016, and it has solved it for us. It has NOTHING to do with downgrading MySQL, it's that the MySQL API included with php is outdated, so you have to force it to use the API included with MySQL (which you'll have to do after PHP drops MySQL support by default anyway).
