ok...I installed this plug-in after watching my over night traffic having as many as 20 guest users at a time in the wee hours of the morning.

So now I can't get back into my site, giving me a Precondition Failed message...

So whats the work around to get back in??

Thanks..
John

After thought - attempted with multiple computers and various browsers..

disable the plugin manually, via the database. look for the table gl_plugins.

Assuming that 1 is enabled and 0 is disabled, I still get the same error of Precondition Failed...

Sigh......


Seems to me --looking at my database something is missing. I have a gl_bad_behavior_log, but no other bad behavior references other than inside the gl_plugins -- is this correct?? Or did something not go right? Further Investigation finds no Bad Behavior in the gl-blocks - there should be?? yes?? The only other reference to bad behavior is in the gl-vars

I thought I had this plug-in stuff down pretty good - even got the line needed to add in the lib-common file.

Short of re-loading my database from a back up (fortunately only six hours old) - I'm sure this can be worked out.....

Did you make the change in lib-common.php? Or, if you want to get your site back up, did you remove it again?

bye, Dirk

I fixed it by deleting my database and installling the backup, now the site is back up.

So I felt daring (ok - maybe stupid) and this time got a sql error when attempting to install Bad Behavior. The error log shows:
Fri Jul 8 14:54:23 2005 - 1146: Table 'scimatdata.WP_BB_LOG' doesn't exist. SQL in question: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM WP_BB_LOG
Fri Jul 8 14:54:38 2005 - 1146: Table 'scimatdata.WP_BB_LOG' doesn't exist. SQL in question: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM WP_BB_LOG
and then off cousre, said the site was down showing sql error.

So again, I deleted database, and reinstalled backup.

I need to look at this some more, anyway, I am back up without Bad Behavior

Hmmmm...Do i dare, is the third time a charm??

Nah, I think I know what the problem is. Fresh installs probably don't work at the moment (I've only done updates recently ...).

I'll have to do a bugfix release anyway. Will look into it over the weekend ...

bye, Dirk

Try Bad Behavior 1.1.4.

bye, Dirk

I tried installing ver 1.2 i created the folders and move the flles to the new folders as suggested.
when i added the required line to the lib-common my site never came backup up (i get a blank page) no errors. are the file(s) /folder(s) suppose to have certain permissions?
Should i leave the required line out, go to to admin and install anyway?

See the FAQ: Blank page

bye, Dirk

Thank Dirk,
I see the error - PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function DB_query() in /path/to /public_html/bad_behavior/bad-behavior-geeklog.php on line 75
I looked at the line(s) it reads:
line 74function wp_bb_db_query($query) {
line 75 $result = DB_query ($query);
line 76 if ($result === false) {
line 77 return false;

any idea

Hmm, did you add the extra line to lib-common.php? Make sure that you do that before you hit "install" for the plugin (just as it says in the installation instructions).

bye, Dirk

this is the error i get if I have the line in lib-common.php. when the line is remove the site comes up.
here is what the file lib-common states
require_once( '/path.../geeklog/config.php' );
require_once( $_CONF['path_html'] . '/bad_behavior/bad-behavior-geeklog.php' );

Hmm, config.php? I think you have that line in the wrong place. It should be after the require_once for lib-database.php (line 189 in the lib-common.php for 1.3.11sr1).

bye, Dirk

you're right it was in the wrong place
now i get this error:
PM PDT - 1146: Table 'geeklog.gl_bad_behavior_log' doesn't exist. SQL in question: DESCRIBE `gl_bad_behavior_log` `denied_reason`;

Okay, it's obviously been a while since I did a fresh install of that plugin ...

This appears to be a bug in Bad Behavior itself, i.e. Michael's part. It checks if the table includes the 'denied_reason' field before the table has even been created.

Open public_html/bad-behavior-database.php and find this piece of code (starts at line 15):

Then move it down before the line that reads

You should end up with this:

And then it really works.

Sorry about that. I'm going to send Michael a bug report and update the tarball.

bye, Dirk

Ssssweeeet! It worked... (it installed with out further errors)
Wow this is great support!
Thanks Dirk

I tried to install BB 1.2.4 on GL 1.4.1 and upon hitting install, I got the Precondition Failed message error page. I take it thinks I'm a spammer. I uploaded everything and edited the lib-common file. Why is it doing this?
