Title: [improved] Info: Attention dangerous database still active due config setting...
Post by: nflmerch on October 06, 2011, 22:36:17 PM
Attempting to update from subrelease G to subrelease H  on j1.71 and the installer gives me this message:

"Info: Attention dangerous database still active due config setting in file"

:o

This is correct. Just disable it, when you want to prevent actually use of the database tools (can delete all tables)

Oh I understand, it's the configuration setting "Enable database Update tools".  Thanks for explaining

if it's a settings notification then have the message say THAT.

having a message tell me "the thermonuclear properties of a liquid neutrino gravity well potentially impregnates cows" is NOT the same as "permissions error moving file"

had I not googled this I would have had to go through all the database and config files to manually determine a box was checked.  :P

thank you for the clarification, but please update the 1.9.8H installer to save the other thousand people about to perform the same update from having heart failure.

I agree, the error should say something like "The configuration setting "Enable database Update tools" is enabled. Please disable for security measures."

The words "dangerous database" in the error did give me a good scare.
