I've been running phorum 5.1.25 for eons now. OK, so I've gotten a little (lot) lax on updating the phorum software. All was running well until about a week ago, and then it started barfing on itself with a ton of "undefined index" messages: [www.pinballmafia.net] If I run the sanity checks,they all fly through as green. But obviously I have a problem, I just don't know where. It looks like something needs to be rebuilt, but if anyone could give me a push in the right direction, I'd be tremendously grateful! In an attempt to solve the problem, I decided to do a trial upgrade to the current version of phorum (5.2.15a). I copied the phorum database to an entirely new database to start, just in case things didn't go perfectly right. Then I installed the new phorum software in a separate directory structure, and updated conf.php to point to the new database. I hit the admin page, and went through 40 upgrade steps OK. After that, I did the sanity check, and it passes all green. However, when I try and use it, I get... el zilcho. I guess I'm stuck; I can't get my old install of phorum working, and a new install with the old database isn't happy either. Just to be clear, I'm absolutely 100% not surprised that the upgrade didn't work, I was just hoping that maybe some magic would happen and phorum would heal itself. So I'm looking for options; either fixing the old one or getting the new version to run are both acceptable options. (Or fixing the old one, with the proviso that I need to upgrade, is also cool.)

Thanks for the push in the right direction!

(Now to figure out what went wrong with the template, then upgrade to the latest phorum!)]]> TheKorn 5.1 Phorum Support Mon, 05 Apr 2010 09:48:58 -0500 http://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?12,143964,143965#msg-143965 http://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?12,143964,143965#msg-143965 If I click through to the forum messages, then things are okay it seems.]]> Maurice Makaay 5.1 Phorum Support Fri, 02 Apr 2010 10:43:03 -0500 http://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?12,143964,143964#msg-143964 http://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?12,143964,143964#msg-143964
