   We've installed myDBR 2.0 and are getting the following message:

   "Error Loading ChartDirector for PHP Extension"

   We never installed ChartDirector and don't intend to do so.

   In our Environment Settings we have in the "Missing Modules" section:

   # Image charts (ChartDirectorPHP Extension not installed) Install now

   Please advise. Thanks.

   The added extension example 'echart' extension is causing this for you. We've put 2.0.1 up which loads the ChartDirector only when used. Just do an update and you should be fine.

   The extension gives you some extra chart types and example how to create your own. As example a radar chart:

   

   Sorry for missing this one.

   Hmm. It's not prompting me to upgrade to 2.0.1

   When I click About-Update Now-Start, I get:

   Please make sure that C:\Apache2\htdocs\mydbr is writable to your web server.
   Once you have granted write permissions to your web server try again and click refresh.

   The following files and directories are currently not writable to your web server

   C:\Apache2\htdocs\mydbr

   I've checked the permissions on the files and everything looks OK. I also just upgraded to 2.0.0, so it seems somewhat unlikely that I created a permissions issue between 2.0.0 and 2.0.1.

   The update info is still 2.0.0. We did not update that one.

   myDBR 2.0 changed the way how it checks if it can update itself in Windows server. Earlier versions did not recognize if files were protected with Windows ACL's. Looks like the new check has problems if myDBR's parent directory is not writable (which does not need to be).

   To get the 2.0 running for now edit the mydbr/user/extensions/echart/echart.php and move the require_once-line in top into the Ext_EChart function like this.

   function Ext_EChart( $id, $options, $dataIn, $colInfo )
   {
   require_once("lib/external/ChartDirector/phpchartdir.php");

   Ext_EChartC::create_chart_and_print( $id, $options, $dataIn, $colInfo );
   }

   We'll fix the file check.

   Again, sorry for the trouble.

   There was a problem with the 2.0.0 version running on Windows-servers. The problem has been fixed in the updated version.

   Symptom was that you are not able to update the version automatically. The updater fails to check the permission on mydbr-directory and produces an error message stating:

   The following files and directories are currently not writable to your web server
   C:\\{YOURMYDBRPATH}\mydbr

   If you are having this problem, download updated version and replace the version manually. Keep the user-directory, so any modifications you have possibly made is preserved.

   Thanks.

   How do I "replace the version manually"? I tried using all of the new files except mydbr_config.php

   I got:
   "Database version (2.0.0) does not match the application version (2.1.0). Quitting."

   Now you have the new application but old database, so you also need to update the database to latest version. Change 'SETUP_DONE' to false in mydbr_config.php and this will invoke the installer next time you access myDBR.

   Also when doing manual updates, you can preserve the user-directory to keep any customization you might have done there.

   Using myDBR's automatic updater makes life much easier.
