Error 1100: Table 'qa_widgets' was not locked with LOCK TABLES

Answer 1

This is a strange error - MySQL is asking you to lock a table before it even exists. As a workaround, try adding the following in qa-db-install.php:

qa_db_upgrade_query('UNLOCK TABLES');

Add it after the following line:

case 23:

Then try upgrading your database again.

i added the same query after case 24: also and it worked.
Thanks!!!
Its great to have such a quick response.

Answer 3

got the same error upgrading from version 1.3.3 to 1.4.1:

 

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at ...\qa-include\qa-db-install.php:1019) in ...\qa-include\qa-install.php on line 60

Error 1005: Can't create table 'q2a.qa_tagwords' (errno: 150)

 

Solved: My problem was related to the "wrong" database type. I don't know why but instead of InnoDB I had MyISAM as database type which doesn't support structural integrity over foreign keys...
