Check your permissions with phpMyAdmin if you are allowed to do LOCK
try to execute the command manually with phpMyAdmin and check the error you get (if any)

allowed to do lock? Im not understanding?
What do you mean by executing the command?
BTW, my comments were working prior to the upgrade from 1.3.10 to the newest one. Not sure what happened.
I noticed that the file in the SQL folder for the upgrade from 1.3.10 to 1.3.11 includes this:
// bugfix: allow up to 40 characters for the story ID
$_SQL[] = "ALTER TABLE {$_TABLES['comments']} CHANGE sid sid varchar(40) NOT NULL default ''";
?>
It seems to have to do with my comments? Im wondering if something may have went wrong during the upgrade? Steps I can take? Possibly reload the COMMENTS Table? How can I execute this? I was thinking that I could drop the COMMENTS table, then reload it? Can someone tell me how I can do this???
This is all coming out of the top on the head based on the error and the upgrade I made. Sorry, Im ranting!
Just disappointed that the comments are not working.

As usual, a quick search would have brought up the answer. See the latter half of this thread for example.
The FAQ also has some information (although only as a side note - I guess we need a separate entry for this ...).
bye, Dirk

My hosting service (godaddy) said they can't grant me those permissions because it is a global flag. Why would comments in 1.3.9 work but fail in version 1.3.10rc3?

jeez, this sux if I've lost my comment function.

Seems like Im in the same boat as this poor guy. My hosting service Webhost4life said they have to check with a manager before doing this change due to a GLOBAL FLAG. If they cant do this for me, is there any way around it? I dont want to change from Geeklog because of this, but comments are the lifeline of my site, if they cant change those permissions, I may have no choice.

I would be interested in the response from your hosting service about why exactly they can't grant you that permission.
Obivously, if this becomes a widespread problem, we will have to do something about it.
But for now, I fail to see how the permission to lock tables is any different from the other MySQL permissions, such as to drop, create, or modify tables ...
You could comment out the SQL queries that lock/unlock the comments table in comments.php, but you'll risk a corruption of that table when two users are posting a comment at the same time.

I have the same problem, I use the services from servage.net and the response was:
Since I don't know anything of databases, i was unnable to response to this.
I hope, there can be a workarround to this, I really like geeklog system. But, if I can't solve it, i'm afraid i'll have to change to another software
Driadan
P.S.:btw does anyone know what is a InnoDB table type?
You are fully able to update tables without first locking them. If you would like a transaction safe enviroment we recommend using the InnoDB tables type.

Well, that doesn't explain why they're not able to give you table lock permissons ...
Using InnoDB tables isn't an option, as that would raise the minimum requirements to MySQL 4.x.
Quote by Driadan: P.S.:btw does anyone know what is a InnoDB table type?
MySQL supports several types of tables. Geeklog currently uses MyISAM tables. InnoDB tables have additional features, but are not available everywhere (and they have disadvantages in other areas, e.g. it's difficult to create a consistent backup).

Well its been a while since I've tried to do anything about this but my hosting said they couldn't change it, thought they said it was a global flag and not just something on my account.
If anyone gets any headway let me know!!

Well I commented out ""//DB_query("LOCK TABLES {$_TABLES['comments']} WRITE");"" and ""//DB_query('UNLOCK TABLES');"" in the comment.php file to get aroaund this problem for now, but it looks like after talking to about 3 different people at my hosting company that i'm not going to be able to get them to do anything about this. So if a fix becomes available please post.

I have to agree with Turias. This talk about a "global flag" doesn't seem to make sense. As I said above, all that should be required is to grant you one more permission (that to lock tables). Surely that shouldn't be a problem?
Or if it is, I'd like to hear a more detailed explanation, please.

well, they answered this:

The problem is that newer versions of mysql does not allow users to lock tables when using myisam tables. As we do not want to want to downgrade we will need to find another solution - are you sure you need to lock a table (and why would you do that?).
