[improved] Info: Attention dangerous database still active due config setting...

[nflmerch]

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"

[Milbo]

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

[nflmerch]

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. 

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.

hehe okey
