[drupal-devel] [bug] Table Prefix

[Jaza]

Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/25600

 Project:      Drupal
 Version:      cvs
 Component:    base system
 Category:     bug reports
-Priority:     normal
+Priority:     critical
 Assigned to:  Anonymous
 Reported by:  kubaZygmunt
 Updated by:   Jaza
 Status:       patch

Can this patch be applied to HEAD please? This is not something that
should be left sitting around in the issues list. Chx has identified
that it was a simple honest mistake on his part, and has indicated that
the submitted patch(es) will fix the mistake.


Until this patch is applied, anyone who tries to install HEAD using db
prefixes will get a fatal error. It doesn't get much more critical than
that :-p.

I've found that new cvs version doesn't get properly db_prefix.


In bootstrap.inc (function _drupal_bootstrap($phase) )
I added another global variable $db_prefix, and then it goes .


I don't know if my solution is good because on my local site I can't
see any blocks and on my internet site I have some caching and I can't
see anything :)

Also noticed this bug, when trying to install a fresh CVS snapshot.
Attached is my patch against CVS HEAD (same as kubaZygmunt's,
basically).

Yes, this is a bug, if you look at the bootstrap patch, there were
versions when I thought variables in settings.php should be written as
$GLOBALS['something'] but then introduced global $something . Forgot
when that something is db_prefix .
