freeside is HOSED. 8-(

[Brian Wolfe]

	I've been using freeside for about 6 months now. I had apache die on me while i was entering a payment. Now freeside locks up when I try to run freeside-bill -c ahzz to bill the clients.

	What all do you need to know to be able to repair my database?

fs 1.2.2
ii  libdbd-mysql-p 1.2214-1       mySQL database interface for Perl
ii  mysql-common   3.23.22b-1     mysql database common files (e.g. /etc/mysql
ii  mysql-server   3.23.22b-1     mysql database server binaries
ii  perl-5.005     5.005.03-7.1   Larry Wall's Practical Extracting and Report
ii  perl-5.005-bas 5.005.03-7.1   The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister
ii  perl-5.005-sui 5.005.03-7.1   Runs setuid Perl scripts.
ii  apache         1.3.12-2       Versatile, high-performance HTTP server
ii  apache-common  1.3.12-2       Support files for all Apache webservers

this is on debian linux woody development.

oh yeah. what is the status of the plans to make ALL database activity transaction oriented that I saw float past on this list a few months ago?


	Brian Wolfe

p.s. wishlist
	transaction based SQL interface.
	one-time billings.
	payment-backout
	billing-backout
	back-billing by user set dates. (for converting from old systems)
	a C version that doesn't take 4 seconds per screen to compile( yes I know of mod-perl. it sucks.)
	stability.(as in some things will end up with 2 copies of the same user in the db and other crap like that.)
	a real quickstart faq.
	a real manual (seen comments on someone doing this. status?)
	past due customer reports.(a VERY important thing that shoulda been done long ago)
	sales reports. (this is REALLY wishing... i know...)	
	predefined types of services and bundles as examples.
	an install script that makes use of CPAN for packages. (detect local then grab from cpan if not found)
	an export to ldap module.( vaguely remember this idea floating by long time ago)

	I'd offer my perl skils but your half OO half straight perl is a nightmare. My advice is to start from scratch on a full-oo or drop the OO completely.
