I did try to reinstall Blob with the install-plugin script, but no

&nbsp;If blob wasn't installed, that would return false and that block
wouldn't run.&nbsp; It's running, but it's failing.&nbsp; Here is the section of
code from $PERLLIB/Slash/DB/MySQL.pm that appears to be failing.&nbsp; The
specific lines that are failing with the errors I mentioned earlier are
in bold with their line number in the right margin.&nbsp; (My apologies to
anyone using ASCII mail)<br>

It would appear that in the code you pointed out, $sid is being sent
with an uninitialized value, or it's not being passed to this function
-- every line referencing that value is blank.&nbsp; I'm not versed enough
in the intricacies of Slash to be able to figure out why this may be.&nbsp;
One thing I can think of is if there isn't a story id to pass.&nbsp; This is
a fresh install, but there are the two initial stories.&nbsp; Plus, isn't
this link ('New' from the admin bar) supposed to create a new story?&nbsp;
Or am I mistaken in its purpose?<br>
<br>
I'm also getting the same issue when I try to approve a new submission,
once I hit the Preview button.&nbsp; Errors are similar:<br>
<br>

<br>
Seems to be the same root cause, no value passed to getFilesForStory
via $sid.&nbsp; What is $sid supposed to propagate from?<br>
<br>
Thanks again,<br>
