If you switch the the SMF default theme, everything looks hoopy, for me.

Re: How do I "move" my forum?

Yes, I just restored the DB backup I took when things started going wrong last week--and it seems to be working okay. At least I can log in and read posts.



BUT, the appearance is all wrong; it still says version 1.1.13 in the header. Attachments and av...

Re: How do I "move" my forum?

It occurred to me while I was playing Bridge tonight that I do have a copy of the DB as it existed last week when everything went south. I am now convinced that the GoDaddy techie restored an old backup that was laying around. That would explain why so...

Re: How do I "move" my forum?

No, the backslashes are fine. I doubled them and repair_settings seems happy with that. But what about the other errors it's reporting--and where is "service not available" coming from?



Re: How do I "move" my forum?

Re: How do I "move" my forum?

Are you still having the issues with the missing backslashes?



As for that error, you need to enable Settings.php to be written.

Re: How do I "move" my forum?

I am still trying to rebuild the site. I exported and re-imported the DB, but I still get "service not available" messages.



These messages appear in repair_settings:



Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Permission denied in D:\Hosting\6121977\html\repair...

Magic quotes should be out of the equation regardless; it's supposed to not have to worry about that anyway since with 5.3 it's deprecated and with 5.4 it's removed.



Of course if you're still running stripslashes anyway...?

Re: How do I "move" my forum?

Yeah but what bugs me is that the same file that works in my computer doesn't work on his...

And for that I have no explanation... I mean, with magic_quotes out of the equation, it's just plain php, isn't it?



Re: How do I "move" my forum?

Re: How do I "move" my forum?

It's been months since I looked at repair_settings Of course it might be helped if I had *ever* used it. I'm always doing this stuff by hand because it's just quicker for me that way...



Re: How do I "move" my forum?

Re: How do I "move" my forum?

I have several copies from different versions.

Arantor, the version being used here it's the one from the download page (and that you helped me to fix, with an issue exactly related with backslashes disappearing

Re: How do I "move" my forum?

Different version of repair_settings? It definitely was broken at one point.



Re: How do I "move" my forum?

Re: How do I "move" my forum?

I just don't understand why it fails here and not in my localhost...

magic_quotes is off, so it's not that either



OK, another test... In Settings.php edit your $boarddir with double slashes. Like this:

[code]$boarddir = 'D:\\Hosting\\612...
