My nodes are in reverse order! help!

pj@plainjaingra... - December 7, 2006 - 15:53

The order of all my nodes are in reverse order. The oldest nodes are now at the top of the page and the newest are at the bottom! It is impossible to stick anything to the top of the site, and anything I had stickied previously is not stickied at all (not at top or bottom).

I have never seen or heard of something like this happening! Is there someone out there that can tell me why this is happening and what I can do to correct it?

do you mean comments? I don't see how the order of nodes can be reveresed. Comments has a setting in administer -> comments -> configure -> viewing options that allows you to switch comments from newest first to newest last.

no, not the comments...

pj@plainjaingra... - December 7, 2006 - 18:04

I mean the nodes themselves, like blog posts and stories... oddly enough the comments are still the way they are supposed to be...

My most recent nodes are going to the bottom of the list, and the the ones I made weeks ago are now at the top! And the stickies are showing up anywhere they want to! lol, if I can't get this fixed I'll just shut down the site, it is not worth this hassle.

Looks to me like you have a problem related to this issue http://drupal.org/node/64114
when I open your website as an anon user, I am presented with the drupal welcome page.

without fixing this issue, I can't see any content.

could you also provide (for those willing to help) a list of contributed modules? as well as which version of drupal you are using ?

yes...

pj@plainjaingra... - December 7, 2006 - 19:57

I'll provide the requested information in a bit. Thank you for taking in interest in helping me.

edit, here's more info:

I believe I'm using 4.7.0. (It might be 4.7.2 but I don't think so)

I installed Node Access Arbitrator last night. I think this is what borked my site. I enabled NA-Arbitrator in admin/modules. When I went to the settings for the module I saw the message that said "don't submit if you are not sure what you are doing" (paraphrased). I knew at once this is not the module for me so I didn't press any buttons there. I hit my back button and immediately disabled NA-Arbitrator. I think it was already too late.

I plan to follow the instructions at http://drupal.org/node/64114.

If you would be kind enough to tell me how to run a query using phpMyAdmin I would really appreciate it. I looked around in phpMyAdmin but it is over my head.

download CHANGELOG.TXT in the root and it'll tell you exactly what version you're running.

Are you using Mysql 4.1.21?

skor - December 7, 2006 - 20:19

There's a bug in that version that causes the behaviour you're describing. Sorry, this is the best link I have handy right now: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=21456

The good news is that there's a patch available.

Server version: 4.1.21-standard-log

pj@plainjaingra... - December 7, 2006 - 20:42

You got it!

Okay, about that patch... My site is hosted at http://bluehost.com .

Will I be able to patch Mysql myself or is this something Bluehost would have do do?

Most likely you will not be

skor - December 9, 2006 - 01:03

Most likely you will not be able to do this yourself. You'll have to get with tech support and see if they'll do it.

thank you servantofthebones

I ran this query only INSERT INTO node_access (nid, gid, realm, grant_view, grant_update, grant_delete) VALUES (0, 0, 'all', 1, 0, 0); and my site seems to be working fine now! (fingers crossed)

Thanks again!
