    Solution: I set up a totally new WP. Thanks to the Worpress Plugin Import WordPress 1.x (http://cauguanabara.jsbrasil.com/) I was able to read all existing articles back into the new installation (which is in a new directory). I deleted the old directory but not the folder for the pics (as they are needed and not uploaded/imported). Et voila – it works…

    I just tried to change the wp-config.php – I renamed
    $table_prefix = ‘wp_’; to
    $table_prefix = ‘wpnew_’;

    Then WordPress started – “empty”, but it started. So I assume it is really a bug with MySQL.

    Perhaps we can have a workaround with this. Can I upload my backup into the new wp_new_* DBs? Does anybody know how to?

    It isn’t resolved so far.

    What have I tried after I downloaded WordPress 2.3.2:

    Did exactly what I was told at http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress
    Then I started from the scratch and did exactly what I was told at http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress_Extended

    Deleted EVERYTHING and started from the scratch, copying ONLY wp-config.php
    Did the same but copied now ALL relevant data (pics, language file etc) to the appropriate folder.
    Oh yes – and i tried to copy all my old files back to the folder – and got the same problem again…

    Nothing really helped. It looks like that copying wp-config.php starts the problem as soon I want to start the Blog within the folder …

    I still get the same error message which was mentioned above.

    I had a look into the MySQL DB – everything fine, all data there. I had a look in to wp-admin, where I see ALL my articles – with pics and everything… So I assume it’s not an MySQL problem anymore.

    Please – who can help?

    I’m okay to delete everything. But I’d love not to lose all my articles and pics…

    Addition to last post:

    You need to enter into the update_group.php script follwoing string to be able to see this in plugin menu or you will not see it as an option:

    /*
    Plugin Name: MySQL Update Bugfix
    Description: Loest das MySQL 5.0.51 Problem bei Strato
    Author: unknown
    Version: 1/
    */

    But actually I still does not work. Now it still has a problem:
    Warning: Un

    expected character in input: ‘\’ (ASCII=92) state=1 in /mnt/web4/11/43/51309043/htdocs/blog/wp-content/plugins/update_group.php on line 19
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /mnt/web4/11/43/51309043/htdocs/blog/wp-content/plugins/update_group.php on line 41

    So far – no news regarding the solution with the script.

    Does anybody has an idea what is wrong with the script? (As I have written I tried to use the solution with the script at http://www.kulturnetzwerk-augsburg.org/blog/. I have deleted the plugin to let at least the page run…)

    Does anybody han an idea what is wrong with the update? (I tried to update http://e-thieme.de/blog/ to fight against the MySQL problem…)

    Thank you Otto42 for the tips. I tried the Permalink update – but that didn’t help at all. Actually – I can see all entries correctly in the admin area – even comments etc.
    Do you really think that they use an buggy MySQL version?
    We’re talking about Strato as ISP?

    More background: The problem regarding MySQL is that WordPress 2.0.x has a problem with MySQL 5.0.51 – all entries are shown in the wrong order…

    Only two things can help according my ISP:
    a) update to an actual version (which I have tried)
    b) following plugin script:

    <?php

    // GROUP BY auswerten

    function plw123ngb_posts_groupby( $groupby ) {

    if( preg_match( \”/(|[ ,.])id(|[ ,])/i\”, $groupby ) ) {

    // Ab Version 2.1 GROUP BY ID unterdrücken

    if( version_compare( get_bloginfo(\’version\’), \’2.1\’, \’>=\’ ) )

    $groupby = \’\’;

    // sonst GROUP BY auf post_date setzen

    else

    $groupby = \’post_date\’;

    }

    return $groupby;

    }

    add_filter( \’posts_groupby\’, \’plw123ngb_posts_groupby\’ );

    ?>

    This has been tried with my second blog at http://kulturnetzwerk-augsburg.org. This file has to been uploaded eg as “update_group.php” in “/wp-content/plugins/” according to my ISP.

    BUT this doesn’t help as well as I can’t see the plugin in my admin site. (But I haven’t updated WordPress on this site as well as I fear to have the same problem – better to have OLD articles than a blank page!).

    Solved: If you change the author of an article the article is changed to a “private” status. The author has to check in under his name and has to “approve” all articles (simply click on the article and “publish” again).

    After this all articles can be seen.

    As Admin of the page I only wonder why I can’t see the articles during this process?

    Further info: Just browsed the SQL database: The articles are still there but are not shown in the overview…

    Any ideas?

    I have a strange problem as well. After changing some older articles to a new author suddenly all articles have been deleted (or not there – perhaps there are not deleted)…

    Any ideas?
