i updated roller (from 2.3 to 4.0 !), crippling all 3 active blogs on this server *whistles*... the perfect chance to finally re-do this page ;-) during the update, i noticed that my (ubuntu) mysql server has safe-updates on - although it's neither mentioned in /etc/mysql/my.cnf, nor in any .my.cnf, and it's not possible to disable this setting by putting safe-updates = 0 into a my.cnf or issueing "SET SQL_SAFE_UPDATES=0". Veeery interesting. Safe updates are supposed to keep you from "accidentaly deleting all your data"... i hate it when software patronizes me. One more reason to dislike MySQL.. in favor of PostgreSQL, which *really* rocks. If only i had known this 3 years ago, when i set up roller 1.0 ... ;) This specific issue seems to be a problem with the mysql package in ubuntu, though. I googled for a solution other than rolling my own mysql package, but to no avail - i ended up cut & pasting the database update script contents line-by-line, suffixing every UPDATE line that didn't specify a key column with LIMIT=10000000000. I had to reduce downtime ;) also, on a side note that's probably not going to affect anyone but me anyways, i had to manually add the "locale" column (varchar(20)) to the weblog (or was it website?) table, it was missing in some update script (i started out with roller 1.0! remember?)... the theme you see now is an adopted "integral". i hope you like the new looks... skimming through the list on rollerthemes.com i doubt it will stay long, though ;)
