phpwcms Support Forum

Hello,

I´m trying to upgrade from 1.1 to 1.5, getting errors during execution of 27-08-2004 to 1.2.7-DEV.sql script:
"ERROR: 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 '(14) NOT NULL,
`group_trash` int(1) NOT NULL default '0',
`group_active` int' at line 6 -> CREATE TABLE `phpwcms_usergroup` ..."

The same if I am pasting the SQL code directly to PHPmyAdmin:
"#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 '(14) NOT NULL, `group_trash` int(1) NOT NULL default '0', `group_active` i' at line 6..."

What I found is that "timestamp(14)" is causing the errors (i.e.`group_timestamp` timestamp(14) NOT NULL,). It runs fine without the "(14)": i.e.`group_timestamp` timestamp NOT NULL). Does MySQL 5.5 not support timestamp(x)?

I´m upgrading to phpwcms 1.5 because the old version will not run with PHP 5.3...

Please help!

OK, this TIMESTAMP(14) seems to be used only in update 07 (27-08-2004...) which I edited.

Hi,

yes, timestamp(N) is incompatible with MySql 5.5 ->
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/ ... eries.html

Incompatible change: In very old versions of MySQL (prior to 4.1), the TIMESTAMP data type supported a display width, which was silently ignored beginning with MySQL 4.1. This is deprecated in MySQL 5.1, and removed altogether in MySQL 5.5. These changes in behavior can lead to two problem scenarios when trying to use TIMESTAMP(N) columns with a MySQL 5.5 or later server:

Serch for timestamp on this page.
