Going around in circles for a week and really need a little direction please.
Original live server: VB 4.22, IIS v7, PHP 5.3.9, MySQL 5.1.59, Win2012R2
Threads: 38,000 - Posts: 470,000 - Members 52,000
* Cloned the existing site to a new (virtual, off-line) server
* Confirmed that 4.2.2 was working properly
Disabled VBSEO
* Forum root is now: /forum.php
* Sub forums are: /forumdisplay.php?f=41
* Posts are: /showthread.php?t=51297
Everything appears to be working fine in the clone without VBSEO.
* backed up the forum to a 1Gb file.
Built a new server: VB 5.5.2, IIS v10, PHP 7.3.1, MySQL 8.0.16, Win2019
* vb_test.php -- passes okay.
* new empty website created
* moved VB5 UPLOAD, edited the two config.php files.
* imported the VB 4 backup into MySQL (can see the 470,00 posts in the database)
* /install/upgrade.php - completed without error, script cleaned-up the tables that wouldn't be used, upgrade detail logs looked fine.
VB 5.52 opens with 0 posts.
Just shows: Main Forum, zero topics, zero posts.
Can login to admincp fine.
Have run maintenance/general update tools (rebuild search index / rebuild topic / rebuild Forum Info etc etc)
...and each task runs near instantly like you could expect on a forum with 1 user and zero posts.
I have repeated the process many times with the same result.
I can browse the database in MySQLworkbench and the post table has 461,000 rows
I've read so many VB4-VB5 forum posts my head is spinning, lots of similar sounding problems that 'aint this.
Am I missing a step somewhere?
Thanks in anticipation,
Andy
