What was done before the problem appeared?
Upgraded from Integramod 140 to Integramod 141, but apparently some files weren't uploaded, which I found out after running the update db .script.


What was done to try to solve the problem?
I went back and re-uploaded them.



De.scription and Message

Alright, so I upgraded from IM 140 to IM 141 earlier and I went through the steps explained in the read me file, but it appeared after running the update db .script that some files weren't uploaded by my FTP client (SmartFTP) so I re-uploaded them but now, I cannot see my forums. I have tried re-syncing as was suggested in the read me file, but nothing happened. I tried checking the database and the forums management in the acp, but still, no help. So I checked in phpmyadmin that my database still had the forum and post data, which it did. So I cannot understand why they are not showing. Any suggestions? My forum is @ http://wff.shockv2.com/

Check all of your CHMOD permissions from the install instructions(from the full package, not the update). When overwriting files the permissions on those files aren't supposed to change. However, I've had it happen to me a few times and had to go over all CHMODs again. It must be a server thing or something.

Yea I did a fresh install last night of the full 141 package through cpanel/filemanager and unzipped there, the chmod from the package was apparently not left intact. I had to go chmod all the files/folders myself. Always check that first lol

Well, turns out that not all the files and folders had the right CHMOD permissions, but even after fixing them, I still have this problem. <img>

Open includes/def_tree.php, is there any forum information in it?

Firefox can't find the server at wff.shockv2.com.

I can't see what's going on with your site because it will not load.

Did you mean http://www.shockv2.com ? if so that forum is using metaBB

I went to acp/forum admin/ forum management. resync. Forums came back up then.

I have a free hosting account with shockv2, but sadly, they've recently been having problems, so websites hosted on its .com server will periodically go down...it'll come back up soon and I'll try your suggestion then, Teelk.

[b]EDIT: As if by magic, the forums are now somehow showing...I was just about to try your suggestion, Teelk, but...I dunno, now they're appearing and everything seems fine. But I checked def_tree.php anyways, and yeah, there is something in it. Thanks for all your suggestions folks, I dunno what happened but it seems to be fine now, luckily. <img>

[Teelk]

The def_tree.php file holds the information from the forum so that the board doesn't always have to go to the database for requested information. It speeds things up quite a bit.

What probably happened is that after CHMOD'ing things correctly someone did something that wrote db information to the def_tree.php which is the same as resyncing the forum, ie. posting, adding a forum etc...
