I have no idea what you're asking, Tony, I'm afraid.

If it helps, which I seriously doubt, when I try to access your forum, I'm getting "Database Error
 Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator.."

Might I suggest that you get on to your host and say something like

[MrPhil]

If you get an "Index of <dir name>", it means that the server is not finding SMF's index.php (or any index.html or index.htm) file there.  If the file is there and readable (644 permissions), check if someone has fooled around/hacked the site configuration or .htaccess file (directoryIndex command) to not look for index.php any more.

Thanks for your replys.

Well I uploaded the 2-0-2 Update and now I'm getting the following error; Unknown column 'a.attachment_type' in 'field list'

Were you running 2.02 previously? Maybe you were running an older version of SMF such as 1.1x?

[tonywells82]

No I was running 1.1.16 so tried to install 2.0.2 upgrade and got that message. I'm really confused as to which upgrade I need to do.

OK, so now I just installed the sms_1-1-16_upgrade and keep getting the following message;

Database Error
Table './tseatcc_tseatcc/smf_log_online' is marked as crashed and should be repaired
File: /home/tseatcc/public_html/smf/Sources/Subs.php
Line: 2583

Note: It appears that your database may require an upgrade. Your forum's files are currently at version SMF 1.1.16, while your database is at version 1.1.9. The above error might possibly go away if you execute the latest version of upgrade.php.

But I'm so confused that I don't know what to do anymore. Please help me. Thanks!

When you upgrade to a different version, you need to run upgrade.php which comes in the upgrade package. It should be found in your forum's root directory after unzipping the archive. This will convert your database to work with the new version.

[tonywells82]

When you say 'run upgrade.php' that's the part that's confusing me now because I'm not exactly sure how to 'run' it. It's doesn't appear to be an executable file.

Another question.. so should I have upgraded from the 1.1.16 to the 1.1.16 upgrade or direct to the 2.0.2 upgrade?

Thanks,
Tony

Point your browser to the normal URL, except put "upgrade.php" at the end, instead of "index.php".

So, perhaps, something like:

http://www.tseatc.com/smf/upgrade.php

[tonywells82]

Ah.. OK that's great. I did do it and now got this;

Upgrading...
Updating Settings.php... Successful.
Updating and creating indexes... Unsuccessful!
This query:

    SHOW INDEX
    FROM smf_log_online;

Caused the error:

    Table './tseatcc_tseatcc/smf_log_online' is marked as crashed and should be repaired

(that was with the 1-1-16 upgrade. Now I'll try to upgrade using the 2-0-2 upgrade)

[K@]

Might be good to go to your CPanel>Databases and try a repair, for that.

[tonywells82]

I just did the 2-0-2 upgrade and now its saying USERNAME INCORRECT

Tony

[Colin]

I am showing it is still being upgraded http://www.tseatc.com/smf/

[tonywells82]

Yes I completed the 2-0-2 upgrade already and it's now showing this;

Upgrading the forum...
Don't worry, we will be back shortly with an updated forum. It will only be a minute .

So what do I do now?? Just wait??
Tony

[Colin]

No that shouldn't be happening if the upgrade already finished. Did you encounter any errors during the upgrade?

[tonywells82]

No, I didn't encounter any errors during upgrade. Anyway, at least it is up and running again. It made several changes but I can sort that all out later.

I just want to say THANK YOU ALL HERE FOR YOUR AWESOME ASSISTANCE! I really appreciate all your help here.

This message is from the "maintenance mode", so if you can access the forum  you can go to admin > configuration > server settings > general and remove the tick from "enable maintenance mode".

Otherwise you can edit your Settings.php file and change:

Code: [Select]

$maintenance = 1;to

Code: [Select]

$maintenance = 0;

Repaired database via Cpanel.  Now working again.  I have no clue what went wrong.

Ah... the weirdness of the internet, huh?

It works. So, all's good!
