Hi all, what a terrible day I've had. We have a forum on one of the websites I maintain and I upgraded it. All went well until I tried to backup the database with the original.
After reading every search question about it, I eventually had to restore everything bit by bit, figuring out all the errors as I went, and there were plenty. At the end of the day I think it was my own username that was causing all the duplicate entry error messages I was getting.
The best way to learn about something is to have to fix it. I know so much more about mysql databases tonight. And I now know how to properly back up the rotten things.
