You had it, now it's gone.  I'm getting install.php at the new link.  Whatever you did just before you dumped the forum appeared to have fixed the problem.

Anything in your error log?  Did you patch the original forum first, then move a copy to the new server?

I patched the forums a few days ago to 11, then yesterday I moved the servers;

Also, Yes It worked for a bit (dont ask me why! I was wonderng too! it was woorking during the re-install) :/

done;
now all Mods are gone, Themes are gone, but, It's working, That's all that counts.


Somehow, when I want to e.g. configure some Mods which I used to install new there is something wrong, like the tables.. I dunno, I mean like you dont have the option to change settings for mods what have been installed on the forums before; like empty places.


Kindred

OK.
Now - things are working. Good.
We have now confirmed that the issue was due to a mod.

NOW!
ONE AT A TIME....  reinstall the mods.
in between each... TEST.

When something fails... STOP.
Don't add any more mods.
COme back and let us know what started happening and we will help you debug that specific issue.

I started to quote you (DarkTexas) but noted there's an image in your last post and it's not showing.
DO NOT pm me for support!

Sir Osis of Liver

You were doing well last night, clean install with your database intact.  You had over 60 mods installed, might be a good idea to run fix_packages.php before you try to reinstall all the mods.  The mods are removed when you do a clean install, but they leave things behind in the database.

Well, Hello Folks.

We had to move Servers again, since we had troubles on 1and1 with the Database. However, this Problem is Back. Exactly the same problem as two years ago...

Take a look at https://gljclan.com/index.php?topic=1784.msg5939#new as example, same problem.

:(

I checked the Error logs,.. only 1 error when opening the post, and also an error when going in the error logs itself.

I know the Database is corrupted anyway, had Errors saying we are using SMF xx.13 but the Database seems to be older or something.. :/

P.S.: I have (of course) already used repair_settings.php

Kindred

Yeah, don't worry about that database message

It looks like your smf messages table did not transfer correctly

What can I do mate?

Kindred

confirm the import of the smf_messages table - if it is not all there, confirm that your backup has the entire table

The Database seems to be fine.. :| Even Imported it once again, no success. Still everything bugged.

You don't, by any chance, have multiple overlapping tables in your gljforums_ database? I mean, some prefixed "smf_" and others prefixed "forums_" ?

DarkTexas,
You allow guests to post?

  Do you still have access to the original server db at this point? (did the old & new overlap to still allow access?)
I'm not sure if your amount of messages content will normally cause an issue but you can try exporting the original db from the first server in 2 chunks.

On the original server first clear out all logs to minimize some column length.
Export all but the messages table to a gzip & then export just the messages table to a gzip and on the new server you import both gzip files.
It's just an idea since it sounds like the messages table possibly got corrupted although the amount of threads seem too low to cause an issue.

But your screenshot shows the messages table prefixed with "forums_"

Yeah, well, as I said, I just renamed all collums to "smf_" instead of "forums_" now.
