Forum permission error (with a twist). ;)

Ok, I started out with PHP-Nuke 7.0, and gained about 24 members to my website (this was a fresh install). I had some problems with forum permissions, so I ran the "FixIt.php" script:

Code:

<?php
//***** check users and user groups ****//

if (!eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
die ("You can't access this file directly...");
}
$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
require("modules/Forums/nukebb.php");

define('IN_PHPBB', true);
include($phpbb_root_path . 'extension.inc');
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.'.$phpEx);
include('includes/functions_search.'.$phpEx);

// Start session management
$userdata = session_pagestart($user_ip, PAGE_SEARCH, $nukeuser);
init_userprefs($userdata);
// End session management

$sql = "SELECT user_id, username
FROM " . USERS_TABLE ."
WHERE user_id > 0";
if ( !($result = $db->sql_query($sql)) )
{
message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, 'Could not obtain user list', '', __LINE__, __FILE__, $sql);
}

$liste ='';
while ( $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result) )
{
$username = $row['username'];
$user_id = $row['user_id'];
$usergroup = '';

$sql1 = "SELECT ug.group_id
FROM " . USER_GROUP_TABLE ." ug, ". GROUPS_TABLE. " g
WHERE ug.user_id = $user_id
AND ug.group_id = g.group_id
AND g.group_single_user = 1
";

if ( ($result1 = $db->sql_query($sql1)) )
{
$row1 = $db->sql_fetchrow($result1);
$usergroup =( ( $row1['group_id'] != '' ) ? $row1['group_id'] : 'User has no user group'.$row1 );

}

if (!($row1['group_id'] != ''))
{

$sql2 = "SELECT MAX(group_id) AS total
FROM " . GROUPS_TABLE;
if ( !($result2 = $db->sql_query($sql2)) )
{
message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, 'Could not obtain next group_id information', '', __LINE__, __FILE__, $sq2l);
}

if ( !($row2 = $db->sql_fetchrow($result2)) )
{
message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, 'Could not obtain next group_id information', '', __LINE__, __FILE__, $sql2);
}
$group_id = $row2['total'] + 1;

$sql3 = "INSERT INTO " . GROUPS_TABLE . " (group_id, group_name, group_description, group_single_user, group_moderator)
VALUES ($group_id, '', 'Personal User', 1, 0)";
if ( !($result3 = $db->sql_query($sql3, BEGIN_TRANSACTION)) )
{
message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, 'Could not insert data into groups table', '', __LINE__, __FILE__, $sql3);
}

$sql4 = "INSERT INTO " . USER_GROUP_TABLE . " (user_id, group_id, user_pending)
VALUES ($user_id, $group_id, 0)";
if( !($result4 = $db->sql_query($sql4, END_TRANSACTION)) )
{
message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, 'Could not insert data into user_group table', '', __LINE__, __FILE__, $sql4);
}

$usergroup = $usergroup.', adding user group '.$group_id;
}

$liste .= ( ( $liste != '' ) ? '<br> ' : '' ) . $username.' <b>'.$usergroup.'</b>';
}

message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE,'Users:<br>'.$liste);

?>

That completely fixed the problem. Then, I decided to upgrade to the Raven PHP-Nuke 7.0. I created a complete backup file of the old PHP-Nuke, and then manually ran all the database queries to re-populate the website's members and posts, etc, for the new version.

It all runs fine, untill I try to make a new member a moderator of a forum. This member joins after I installed the new version, but I cannot make him a moderator (I can still make the old members moderators and stuff). I get the error:

Code:

Couldn't update private forum permissions

DEBUG MODE

SQL Error : 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ' 1)' at line 2

INSERT INTO nuke_bbauth_access (forum_id, group_id, auth_mod) VALUES (25, , 1)

Line : 425
File : /home/nuclearx/public_html/modules/Forums/admin/admin_ug_auth.php

Soooo, I tried to re-run the "FixIt.php" script, but it does not work. I get this error:

Code:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator,

Only registered users can see links on this board!
Get registered or login to the forums!

and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I changed the file permissions to 777, and that ^^ is the error I get.

Would anyone (please?) know how to fix this, so I could either re-run the "FixIt.php" script (perhaps by erasing what the "FixIt.php" script did, and redoing it), or simply find another way to fix it. Thanks! Very Happy

My 7.0 distro uses phpbb v2.0.6. What version is your database that you are loading from?

It was 2.0.8 (I had upgraded it). Do you think if I upgraded your version to 2.0.8 it might work? *goes to try*

That would be my guess.
