DBI error w/ 4.2 & Midcentury Template set

I'm also experiencing this problem... publishing Mid-Century on three different installs of MT 4.2 (all on the same host, though) gives the the following error:

Statement has no result columns to bind (perhaps you need to successfully call execute first) at /home/dafyd/EV61901N/cgi-bin/blog/extlib/Data/ObjectDriver/Driver/DBI.pm line 128.

Debug Mode doesn't give any further details.

Of the three installs, one is a fresh install, with only the default test entry and comment. The others each have 500-odd entries and about 1000 comments, one which has been upgraded regularly from (good old) 2.61, the other was originally a MT4 install.

Interestingly, since upgrading to MT4.2, I'm finding the same error on a home-brewed template, which published fine before. I don't believe it's using any particularly complicated syntax (no categories, for one thing).

Googling has found some old posts that suggest disabling plugins and trying again, but this makes absolutely no difference - indeed, on the new install, Mid-Century is the only additional plugin I've added.

Any ideas?

Hi,

We had the same problem and it turns out it's a pretty simple fix. It's the about page.

The problem is that there's code in the template that's trying to grab from a folder called "about" but if you haven't created one, it doesn't know what to do with itself.

Create a top level folder called "about" and then create an about page to go in that folder.

In longer terms, go to Manage> Folders > Create top level folder. Name it about and hit create.

Then go to Create> Page and make an about page. In the editor, make sure you direct the page to go into the new 'about' folder.

Oh, and if you just don't want an about page excerpt on the sidebar, then just remove the from the Sidebar module.

Hope that helps!

Awesome, that works perfectly. Thanks! I doubt I'd have figured that out on my own...
