Corrupted new 5.1.7 phorum after dirty instalation

Hi,
I try to test 5.1.7RC on my local PC. I dump DB contain from my ordinary web phorum and deploy this into local mysql. Then I instal 5.0.9 and check that most of functionalities work pretty good.

I have installed 5.1.7RC version recently. I simply rewrite files in the same folder as 5.0.9 was situated and some problems appear. I can use admin possibilities without problems. I can read messages but some warnings are displayed. Main problem is I am not able to create topic or answer topics - no form is visible.

This is warnings when open section folder:

Warning: Unhandled page type. in D:\users\paw\internet\www\phorum\op\common.php on line 570

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at D:\users\paw\internet\www\phorum\op\common.php:570) in D:\users\paw\internet\www\phorum\op\cache\tpl-default-header-toplevel_stage2-a3732de16b212b40bc68dc072b21099f.php on line 3

In all cases this warning are displayed:

Warning: Unhandled page type. in D:\users\paw\internet\www\phorum\op\common.php on line 570

Can somebody reccomend me what can I do? Thank you.

There is a module or two that are causing this. Do you have any modules installed? If so, what are they?

Brian, good tip - I played with modules switch on / off and warnings has been dissapeared when I switched off Poll mod.
So no warning but unfortunatelly also no form for creating topics or answer message :-)
I have not switch on any module and behaviour is the same as in my first message only no warnings are displayed. What can I try next? Change template or delete cache?

why did you do this "dirty install" and not just a plain install using the old database for doing an upgrade?

do you have "reply form on separate page" set in admin -> general settings
maybe?

Hi Thomas,
reason is pretty clear - I want to have local copy of my live phorum with all messages and I thought this is easiest way how to do it :-)
Your tip did not help me but I have found problem - something wron is in my template - when I change to default form is appeared.
Thanks for help and patience.

yes, you can't use the phorum-5.0.x-template with 5.1.x.
as all the messages are in the database a fresh install just using the old database would be a sane way.

Ah so :-) I suggest to include notice about uncompability between 5.0 and 5.1 phorum template into install.txt. It could prevent trouble similar like in my case.
