Revive the old magic ... uh-mm ... pretty dusty up there. Cupnhud, go ahead and contact me ...

LOL, not him, I assume he resolved his issue since that was three years ago. I've got someone the support staff want to send your way; I'll have them forward the contact info.

Dredging up an old thread; Andreas, are you still able to offer the ouiextra.dbf rebuild service for a fee? Customer running into this same issue since the bug was never fixed.

Has there been any word on whether or not this update will still be made available sometime hopefully this month?

Well since I do not currently have Storeman and an update is not do out until Ocotober I guess the best bet is to wait until. Thanks for the update on the update.

Dear All,

I just got a note from Darren stating the following when I asked him about a fix / update for this issue:

"Just haven't had a change to get an update out. The fix is a simple <MvPACK> on the OUIExtra database. I do plan to release an update, but it will probably be the first week of October."

Re: HELP! OpenOUI packing bug - ouiextra.dbt file at 2GB - cannot modify store!

I have asked Darren for updates a few times but have not heard back unfortunately. There is no correction for this issue currently because none of the database file editors out there can remove the records from the dbt file properly. My understanding is that Andreas at http://www.pcinet-llc.com corrected this for Rick's store by downloading all of the product info into StoreMan from http://www.phosphormedia.com and then publishing the products back up, recreating that big file in the process, without all the already deleted data.

Re: HELP! OpenOUI packing bug - ouiextra.dbt file at 2GB - cannot modify store!

You're correct. I brought the issue to Darren's attention at the beginning of last week, he looked at the code and discovered that the OpenUI never packs that database so the dbt file accumulates data every time a header, footer or description is changed which is never removed. He said he'd get it fixed and release an OpenUI update.

Any word on when this update may be released?


Just so I understand correctly what are the steps that are necessary to essentially reset this file in lieu of an OpenUI update?

A big THANK YOU to Andrea Toman from PCINET, LLC who was recommended from Hostasaurus, who has fixed the problem with my store, and did it just this afternoon after contacting him. Gave me his cell phone and asked me to contact him, described the problem, and indicated that he was aware of this problem, and how to fix it, and dumped the store, reset the file, and reloaded the store in a very short time (I didn't even know the store was down as I was out to dinner)! Got a message indicating it's up and there we go!

Thanks again, and thanks for inputs on this forum - stress level is lowered for the rest of the weekend ...

This has nothing to do with the thread and its my own personal opinion but no store should ever need 100 3rd party modules. I don't think any store should ever have a need for more then 30 modules if the store is properly designed.

Yes, we do alot of updates, changes, additions, deletions, have over 8000 items in the store, etc.

Again, this is not a dig on anyone, but I am anxious to get my store back so I can continue adding items as I have a backlog of items (=$) to put on the store.

I use Hostasaurus, etc and they have been a lifesaver many times and have always been able to quickly resolve any Miva issues I've had.

Also, I'm thinking about Miva 5, but I have probably 100 add-on modules so not sure how easy it would be to migrate but seems like Miva 4 may be more of an issue over time in terms of support, etc.

Re: HELP! OpenOUI packing bug - ouiextra.dbt file at 2GB - cannot modify store!

Dear All,

Isn't the 2 Gigs limitation function of a size issue of the file on some OS's and not and issue with Open UI itself (other than the mentioned bug)?

I thought some OS's can only handle a file the size of 2 Gigs...then again I may have mis-remembered something.

It is an empresa limitation. The 2gb file limitation on some operating systems is normally based on the underlying file system, so that hasn't affected linux or windows 2k+ in quite some time.
