db error: unknown error.

[dlats]

The system is Apache 2.2.27, PHP 5.4.30 and MySQL 5.5.38-Maria. I have several drupal/civicrm sites hosted on this server.

For Drupal 7.28 and civicrm 4.4.6, changing a module setting (disable or enable) produces the error. The action is completed before the error appears. I tried PHP 5.3 with the same results.

Here are other combinations that get the error; Drupal 7.22 & civicrm 4.3.4, drupal 7.22 & civicrm 4.4.5, drupal 7.22 & civicrm 4.4.3 and drupal 7.28 & civicrm 4.4.5.

However, drupal 7.15 & civicrm 4.2.8 works without error.

The apache log has no error in it.

Back trace: PEAR_Error->PEAR_Error("DB Error: unknown error", -1, 16, (Array:2), "DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS civicrm_strip_non_numeric [nativecode=1548 ** Cannot ..."

This occurs on all sites that have the error, even the fresh install one.

If you look in this Google seach, you will find a lot of threads on this forum on this subject. Perhaps one of those can answer your question.

Most of those posts refer to upgrades or server migration. This is a brand new install. I tried doing /civicrm/menu/rebuild&reset=1&triggerRebuild=1, but the error still persists.

You don't need to run mysql_upgrade as suggested in other posts, you can run "repair" table from phpmyadmin on all the tables. That fixes the problem.

The other db error I encountered was when saving the site email and address. Logging out then in solves this one as suggested in another post.

Wouldn't fix your problem, but speeds up developer flow (since the bug causes any Drupal module enable/disable to take several minutes eg if logging enabled) and would mean you wouldn't run into the issue so often.
