Does this happen with any users? Sat, 25 Apr 2009 09:37:26 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/8213#t53870 > Did you change anything from the default prefs.php files? Do other > preferences work correctly? Does this happen with any users? im using a fresh copy of the framework, unpacked, added the config dir. Even ifi use un modified prefs.php.dist i still get the same error. The error has been reported byall users presently Sun, 26 Apr 2009 07:34:59 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/8213#t53878 Just want to add another report of this. I was enabling a MySQL backend for prefs/datatree and have the same issue. Sun, 26 Apr 2009 17:29:14 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/8213#t53882 Do you see anything in your horde log or MySQL logs? Sun, 26 Apr 2009 19:34:12 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/8213#t53884 No, nothing unusual, when turning up the log to debug level I only see the UPDATE statements, etc and nothing looking like any form of error. Just to update; I've upgraded IMP to 4.3.4, Horde is still at 3.3.3, the backend for prefs, sessions and datatree is mysql (via mysql api, not mysqli), the db is on a remote machine and unlik the OP, my alterations are being saved. Sun, 26 Apr 2009 19:46:37 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/8213#t53885 Same here now. execpt my mysql is local. nothingin logs etc also Sun, 26 Apr 2009 20:04:53 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/8213#t53886 To shortcut a lot of digging, if anyone wants, I can likely whip up a full machine with the symptoms tomorrow, including public SSH/HTTP access to show the fault. Also, my user authentication if via IMAP on the local machine, which have a user backend in mysql, if that matters. -A Sun, 26 Apr 2009 20:07:45 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/8213#t53887 Sounds like that machine access would be helpful in tracking this down. Is is still available? Mon, 01 Jun 2009 19:58:29 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/8213#t54380 I have the very same problem, and can give machine access if needed.
