db error: unknown error.

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.

Related: CiviCRM rebuilds DB triggers when unrelated Drupal modules are enabled / disabled

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.
