Hi Chris,

I overwrote the file by your directions and that seemed to work just fine, all problems seem to be solved. Are they going to update the download anytime soon so that this doesn’t happen in the future?

Thanks again,

Paul

I tried to see what happens if I log in with the current error I get and below is what I get. Does this provide any clues?

So I read that another workaround is to overwrite /bb-includes/db-mysqli.php with /bb-includes/db.php . What does that mean exactly and how do I do that? The problem I find with these instructions is that it assumes a lot of knowledge on the part of the user to know coder-speak. I know I could do it but I just don’t know what I need to do.

But other people say that when they apply 745c.diff their problems go away, so perhaps I should just figure out how to apply that patch. But first I need to be able to understand how to do that…any help?

Okay, so do I need to apply this whole patch somehow? I clicked on 745c.diff and got a bunch of code I don’t know what to do with, how am I meant to patch this properly?

Thanks Chris,

I was just doing some of my own sleuthing and found that ticket. I made the change at line 80, adding the “i”. I got rid of 1 error but still get:

Warning: mysqli_get_server_info() expects exactly 1 parameter, 0 given in /home/content/o/p/e/openartist/html/airshipleague/forums/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php on line 80

Let me know if you have any advice here otherwise I’ll continue sleuthing.
