FIX: undefined function: message_die in db.php on line 88

First off, thanks for the reply.

We weren't using persistent connections until my colleague turned them on during another crash earlier today, and it seemed to - at least temporarily - solve our problem.

Why is there no need for persistent connections? We seem to be performing better with them on.

You can run out fast with persistent connections. The host I'm on, lunarpages.com, runs all mySQL databases set to 50 connections and specifies that you shoul *not* use persistent connections. I never see complaints about running out of connections.

I have the Fatal error: Call to undefined function: message_die() in /home/directory/public_html/db/db.php on line 88 problem.

I just moved all my site's files to a new server. My site has CPanel/phpmyadmin access now, so if there's anything I need to set-up in there, please tell me.

I changed the config.php file's username and password for the new server. How can I figure out what the host and dbname is suppose to be???

I have MySQL as the type, and both the prefix/user prefix are nuke. MySQL is said to be working perfectly on the server.

Please help ASAP, thank you in advance.

I read up on how to install phpnuke with phpmyadmin. The error I posted above is gone. I now have these errors:

Warning: head(themes//theme.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/directory/public_html/header.php on line 31

Warning: head(): Failed opening 'themes//theme.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/directory/public_html/header.php on line 31

I'd talk to your server's host about that. Usually your host is localhost while your dbname is your account username.

Thanks, I got the line 88 problem solved. Do you have any suggestions as to the other errors?

I read through this thread, and I am puzzled... Nobody mentions that this message_die() or line 88 problem is really a bug in phpNuke that needs to be fixed. Not only it's a pesky bug, it obscures the real problem. The whole thread is dedicated to how to get to the real problem that is obscured by this bug.

The solutions is to include functions.php in db.php.

Code:

require_once("".$the_include."includes/functions.php");

Hello there,

I added this:
require_once("".$the_include."includes/functions.php");
line in db.php and it created another problem. It stopped showing me the members' list and gave this error message:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_db_stat() (previously declared in /home/cool/public_html/includes/functions.php:64) in /home/cool/public_html/includes/functions.php on line 64

So I had to remove it back. After the removal of it the members' list got back to normal.

Any other solution for the '....line 88' bug, please do let us.

The message die problem was fixed from PHP-Nuke 7.2 onwards. The message that is displayed now reads

Quote:

There seems to be a problem with the MySQL server, sorry for the inconvenience.<br><br>We should be back shortly.</center></b>

So even though old versions of php-nuke were displaying a garbled error message, the problem always was, and still is the same. There is a problem connecting to the database. Any one of the usual culprits could be to blame. Some of these usual culprits are as follows

The database is not there
The username is wrong
The password is wrong
The user doesnt have permission to access the database.
The spelling or case of the details in config.php are wrong.
The dbase type is set as MySQL in config.php and the dbase is not MySQL
You didnt use a Decent Text Editor to edit config.php.

just got finished installing nuke 6.5 on the server. I got it going for a minute then the errors started coming up and I'm stuck. Getting this.

read it had something to do with permissions but that wasn't true, maybe it's something with the server...

Any ideas??? Sad

sounds to me the theme isn't set up right, check to see if the theme.php file is in there

i had the error that started this thread then i changed the line in db.php to this:

// message_die(CRITICAL_ERROR, "Could not connect to the database");
die("Could not connect to the database \n" . mysql_errno() . ": " . mysql_error(). "\n");

now my error is:

Could not connect to the database 1129: Host 'localhost.localdomain' is blocked because of many connection errors. Unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts'

i'm no expert when it comes to this stuff. I'm not sure what flush-hosts is or what can do to correct ths error so i can view my site again. site has been up for a while now and just started having this problem.
