Hello all,

This is the strangest thing ever. On trying to create a new profile, I'm getting an error reporting: DB Error: No such field.

So I've checked my civi log and it gives me the following details on the error:

1054 ** Unknown column 'description' in 'field list'

The query being run is:

INSERT INTO civicrm_uf_group (is_active , title , description , help_pre , help_post , limit_listings_group_id , post_URL , add_to_group_id , add_captcha , is_map , is_edit_link , is_uf_link , is_update_dupe , cancel_URL , is_cms_user , notify , name , created_id , created_date , is_proximity_search ) VALUES ( 1 , 'Testing 321' , 'Testing' ,  NULL ,  NULL ,  NULL ,  NULL ,  NULL ,  0 ,  0 ,  0 ,  0 ,  0 ,  NULL ,  NULL ,  NULL , 'Testing_321' ,  2 ,  20140303120825 ,  0 );

I've gone into mysql to try to run this query and I'm getting the same error from SQL. Running SHOW CREATE TABLE civicrm_uf_group reports the following:

Clearly the column does exist. I'm basically at my wits end!

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi Eileen,

In civicrm.settings.php, I have

define('CIVICRM_LOGGING_DSN', CIVICRM_DSN);

but have not set

define( 'CIVICRM_DEBUG_LOG_QUERY', 1 );

However, I'm still getting plenty of logging information in sites/default/files/civicrm/ConfigAndLog.

There is a log_civicrm_uf_group table as well as a bunch of other civicrm_log_* tables.

Oh, I've just disabled it. I'll test it again.

And apparently that's fixed it. Who'da thunk it?
