Error in MySQL when add category (in all apps)

[PersonalMode]

Hi the community,

Can you help me, because I try to find the solution since few weeks.

With no reasons, when I try to add a new category in gallery, or forum, or in database from Page, I always have an error about the permissions.

Here an example of the last error :

INSERT INTO `ibf_core_permission_index` ( `app`, `perm_type`, `perm_type_id`, `perm_view`, `perm_2`, `perm_3`, `perm_4`, `perm_5` ) VALUES ( 'forums', 'forum', 163, '*', '', '', '', '' )
IPS\Db\Exception: Duplicate entry '1945' for key 'PRIMARY' (1062)

I use Community 4.2.6 and I cannot upgrade now (too much custom), and the news are too hot now to begin a big work of custom.

Thanks a lot

Sounds like you need to just remove the extra duplicate entry noted in the ipb_core_permission_index table.  Before you do anything, take a full backup of the database just to be safe.  

Also... the version of IPB that you are running is over 5 years old.  In that time, there have been over a dozen critical security fixes.  I know it sucks to hear you should upgrade, but you REALLY need to work on upgrading.

Thanks @Randy Calvert
I think you are right. I waited too long between versions and the ideal is to update.

No chance. The problem was not fixed with the 4.7.3 update. At least with the forum, because in the gallery it seems that it works again.

INSERT INTO `ibf_core_permission_index` ( `app`, `perm_type`, `perm_type_id`, `perm_view`, `perm_2`, `perm_3`, `perm_4`, `perm_5` ) VALUES ( 'forums', 'forum', 165, '*', '*', '', '11,4,7,12,10,3,13,6,9,8', '11,4,7,12,10,3,13,6,9,8' )
IPS\Db\Exception: Duplicate entry '1957' for key 'PRIMARY' (1062)

Same problem with database in Pages.

I'm not an expert in MySQL. I don't see in this table, where there is extra duplicate entry.

At this point, you are really at a crossroad where you need to get your site upgraded. It may well be you are hitting a bug that is causing the duplicated items there. 

For context, you are 44 releases behind, which is 5 years behind. In addition to this, 10 of those were security related, so you are running software with known security flaws

Hi @Marc Stridgen
Like I said, I finally decided to update. I have the latest version (4.7.3).

But the update did not fix the problem (except for the Gallery app apparently)

Just try to add a new forums

The new forums appears in the AdminPC

But not in the public area

[Adriano Faria]

Do you have this every time you try to create a  forum? Does it happen with other apps too (Gallery, Downloads, Blogs, Pages, 3rd-party, etc.)?

There must already be an entry for that key in the table.

Can you run this sql query?

SELECT * FROM ibf_core_permission_index WHERE perm_id = 1971;

Another thing to check is if the perm_id field is set as AUTO_INCREMENT.

As mentioned, perform those actions first of all, and once that is done, please let us know

I assume you are talking about that?

I guess it's better to pass the tables to InnoDB first and then proceed to the "Compact" step

I make a copy of my database. After the copy, the problem with 'Compact' table type was resolved.
 

Then I use this process to convert MyISAM tables to InnoDB

From now, this seems to have solved my original problem. But I haven't finished testing in all the apps

[Gary]

That's great to hear, @PersonalMode. Please don't hesitate to let us know if you encounter any issues with the other apps once you've performed all the testing required.
