Comment (by dreamcat4 <dreamcat4@…>):

 And here are some (fewer) people who were fortunate enough to find the
 error. And know that they had to hack this:

 version incompatibility error described above. While the work-around patch
 to /var/www/html/mythweb/includes/db_update.php shown above worked, I was
 uneasy about doing that since I had no idea what else may have been
 changed
 in the database by mythweb 0.27. Consequently, I restored the database
 from a backup copy and now everything seems to be OK.

 Kenneth:

 I had the same problem a few months ago. I think I only modified
 db_update.php after the downgrade to get mythweb working again. I've
 included the changes to my db_update file below.

 db_update.php:

 define('WebDBSchemaVer', 4)
