PMs always come back with error message.

I searched the forums for this but didn't stumble onto anything.
This is a fresh install, about the 5th i've done so this isnt my first time around.

For whatever reason when you try to send a PM we get this message.
"You must specify a username to whom to send this message."

Yes we specified a user, a subject, and a body in the PM, but i just cant figure it out.

Please can you turn on error reporting in the config.php and also database logging in the rnconfig.php file.

Cheers

I watched the log when I tried to send a PM, and it looks like my DB is missing a table or something.

Code:

April 25, 2009, 12:15 pm 1146 : Table 'ff29utnp_rnuke.rnuke_themecpanel' doesn't exist


SQL was: SELECT rightclick, rightclick1, disableall, disableall1, sourcecode, clickms FROM rnuke_themecpanel


 remote addr: xx.xxx.x.xxx


April 25, 2009, 12:15 pm SQL was: SELECT link1name, link2name, link3name, link4name, link5name, link1url, link2url, link3url, link4url, link5url, themeflash, themesearch, pmpop, leftblockstemp, rightblockstemp, sitemsg, sitelogin, broadcastmsg, clock, forumleftblocks FROM rnuke_themecpanel


querycount = 36

Sounds like it to me. Seems that two tables are missing. If it is a fresh install reinstall everything. You might be missing some other tables.

What theme are you using?

Figured this out. There was an error in the code in one of the files for the theme. It was looking for variable 'username2' rather than 'username'.

Thanks for letting us know. Very Happy

when you have problems whit your config try to chomod to 444 not 644 its a try Wink

I am not sure this will fix anything, especially because the permissions are even more restrictive. Notwithstanding this I believe the problem is now fixed.

JakeC is correct on this. 444 will not even allow the file owner to write to a file. And as he said, the problem is resolved Wink
