Restoring old Database

[OrangeFlea]

Wow, it worked.

Both of your suggestions actually saved me. Steve, I forgot to add the no_plug-ins string to the newly uploaded config.php file (I did it on the previous uploaded file,...

My webhost, upon my request, restored a vBulletin 3.5.4. dump into a database. I did a back-up of the forum last year. He sent this:



The part in bold is what I'm trying to do....

How am I supposed to upgrade (which is what I want to do) when the database I need to restore is 3.5.4? I'll need 3.5.4 files in order to bring it back, and then upgrade to 3.7.2, but first I need 3.5.4...

I feel like an idiot, Steve. I apologize for inconveniencing you. The old vb database was actually running 3.5.4, when I thought it was running 3.6, which is why I uploaded 3.6 files.

Well,...

Just did so. Reuploaded fresh vB files, and now I get this:...

[OrangeFlea]

Warning: Unknown(/home/xxx/public_html/forum/includes/synergy.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /includes/init.php(317) : eval()'d code on line 5

Sorry about that. Just getting this...



and as for the error specifically......

[OrangeFlea]

Just did that, and the forum still won't load. Do I have to run the vB 3.6 installation in order for this to work? Thus far, all I've done is upload the vB files to the server after the SQL dump was successful....

I've recently re-activated my account with a web host, and they were kind enough to dump an existing SQL file of a previous forum for me. However, this is what they e-mailed to me:

I have...

Who are you to tell anyone to chill. I'm a paying customer, and I don't need someone who doesn't represent the company to tell me what to do on the company forum. "Matter of weeks" could imply...

[OrangeFlea]

So this month, next month?...

[OrangeFlea]

WHEN will the details be made available? That's been the issue all along. I don't think any of us have a problem with vBulletin keeping a tight lid on exactly what they're building behind the scenes,...

[OrangeFlea]

That's not what he said. And he's not guaranteeing anything. Jelsoft's staff can't predict the future functionality of third party applications. In fact, as of now, they can't really predict whether their...

I'm still using 3.5, and I wish I never upgraded to it, because a lot of the community's favorite mods haven't been remade since 3.0. I don't plan on spending more money on the renewal of my subscription...

Mods are not supported by vBulletin. When a problem goes down with the software, a vBulletin representative will ask you to purge your forum software of all mods before they can even start to help you....
