There appears to be an error with the database.

[MerlinSilk]

I get an error "There appears to be an error with the database" when trying to post a new 'Isssue' -

the issue/suggestion I wanted to get off my chest is:

 

I ran into a discussion about minimum wages today and remembered there was a podcast a while ago about this subject. I tried to find this to throw into the discussion - but was unable to find it. I looked through the youtube channel first - nothing came up for a search for that keyword.Then I went to the main site, no luck,then I finally logged into the forums, again no go.With this huge amount of content I am sure there should be somethnig for me to find - but no, so I believe, we need a better indexing/tagging functionality for the site.I am sure this could be handled with crowd sourcing - if every subscriber gets a chance and request to add a few tags (including time index for audio/video) for everything she/he digests, it should be a rather painless task to get a good index of all of Stefans content.

I'm not up with the play, but I understand work is in motion to do this. Folk are going through each podcast tagging keywords to minutes as part of an on-going project which started in the last few months. I was going to help out myself but my work in taking notes isn't that specific.

that is good news!

What is the error code you see? Screenshot? I'm not a volunteer here or anything, but probably know how to fix it.

301: Price Controls and the Minimum Wage

As far as I understand it there are plans to improve this sort of thing, but it's a hell of a lot of work and there weren't that many people volunteering to help out. 

 

In the meantime I would suggest two things, first to google terms like "freedomain radio [my keyword]" (as the kind of results you want are on several different sites), and second to start tagging and time stamping podcasts. There are a decent number of finished ones I think, so I'd ask Mike (MMD) what podcasts would be the best to timestamp (I think he has an order to things he's working on).

 

The Why you are Unemployed series also touches on minimum wages, and I'm sure it's come up tangentially in different sunday shows and listener conversations.

If the error actually says "There appears to be an error with the database" it's a vague IPBoard generated error that shows up when the database migration from the old software wasn't exactly perfect. More here. Which doesn't make a lot of sense since there was no "issues tracker" in the old system. Maybe JamesP is working on something...?

thank you so much for the link!There was no error code, just something like Oops, something wrong with ... sorry did not take a screenshot.

Check your server error log, it will display the specific error message you need to fix it, though I suspect this might have to do with missing tables, specifically innodb tables.Try running this query on phpmyadmin:(Maybe only one table is missing though, so try one at time)

 

First select the mysql database (it's probably actually called mysql)
