    After updating to this version, a newly created background process is failing to produce a PDF report for all but one request.

    This particular report has three rows inside of it, click on "View" to view the PDF of the quote works great. But, the other two don't work at all because the URL hash changes every time. Is this new?

  3. myDBR Team, Key Master

    Hi,
    there is no change in PDF creation. URL hash is calculated based on the report and the report's parameters.

    Could you open up a support ticket with more details? Please include the report source code and the SQL export of the report. Include also got any error messages and a failed PDF file if such is created.

    This update has also resulted in all favorites for *some* users showing error "Unfortunately we could not complete your request. Please contact your system admin" - some of the users are able to remove the favorites and re-add, some are not.

  5. myDBR Team, Key Master

    This may happen if your secret seed has changed. You can run the following command in the SQL Editor to restore the functionality of the favorites:

    update mydbr_favourite_reports set url = null

    I am running v5.92 of myDBR -- my license is 5.9.3, so the software is not functional right now.

    When I run the auto-updater, it runs and claims it is successful, but the software still thinks it's 5.9.2 and my license still does not work.

    Do you have any suggestions?

    If it matters, you should know that I am running myDBR on apache/centos on a server that is NOT the database server.

    What is your PHP version you are running?

    Notice that myDBR supports PHP from 5.6 upwards. The support for PHP 5.3-5.5 was ended so that we can keep the libraries and thrid party components up to date. PHP's own support for old PHP versions have ended long time ago (for PHP 5.5 already almost 5 years ago).

    If you are running an old PHP version, see documentation for "Update between major PHP versions".

    Thanks for the lead - we are WAY behind on PHP. This machine has not been touched in years.
