New Commercial Services Section
We have now opened a commercial services section here on the forum for registered users. If you have a Fabrik project that you wish to have someone work on for you, post it under Help Wanted. If you are an application developer and wish to earn some money helping others, post your details under Fabrik Application Developers.
Both of these are unmoderated. It will be up to both parties to work out the details and come to an agreement.

Fabrik 500 Error after Akeeba Kickstart
- Thread starter polarweb
- Start date
I just had the same issue and spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to solve this.
I moved a joomla site with fabrik to another server using Akeeba 4.2. It successfully moved and the site worked fine except for the Fabrik parts. "cannot connect to mysql". I went into connections and the "database" that was displaying was from the old server and had a different prefix. After trying to save with the correct name it persisted in throwing the error "cannot connect mysql error". I' double checked the username/password and even tried to create a new independent connection but still the same connection mysql error. I used the same username/password to connect remotely using navicat and it connected no problem.
After trying this a couple of times with Akeeba I simply went into the "fabrik_connections" table and updated it manually and voila it worked immediately... Hopefully this will save someone else the time.

Akeeba doesn't change any component data, so you have to update the Fabrik connection always after copying your site (no matter whith which means).
But no idea why you couldn't edit the Fabrik connection directly.
Lists are linked to the connection id and you will get all sorts of issues if you are trying to delete a used connection or if you are working with two connections pointing to the same DB (for Fabrik it's not the "same").
So better trash the addional one (with the new id) and empty trash.
Updating the fabrik_connections in the DB is ok - if you know what you are doing.

Don't do this (or at least don't use it).
