[rt-users] Odd behavior... Repeated Login and Attachment Problems

[David Oberlitner]

Hello,

The alter table command below solved my repeated
login problem also:

ALTER TABLE sessions CHANGE a_session a_session
LONGBLOB;

In addition, I couldn't retrieve attachments after
upgrading from 3.4.? to 3.6.1. Another poster
provided the following similar solution:

ALTER TABLE Attachments CHANGE Content Content
LONGBLOB;

In both cases the previous type was LONGTEXT. I
observe in /opt/rt3/etc/mysql.schema LONGTEXT  is
defined as the type for both. I have also observed
several of the posters with these problems operate
Gentoo as I do. My first guess is this is not a
Gentoo specific problem but wonder why I have not
seen such reports on other platforms.

Is this a likely bug worth reporting?

Regards,

David
