Ok, after much turmoil...RC2

[mv_ajen]

According to the SMF upgrade tool, my upgrade is a success, but looking at my forum, I beg to differ: http://www.dccatholicschool.net/forum/

It seems only part of my site made the transfer. Can anyone offer any insight?

Try uploading the /Themes directory again.

Ok, but I failed to mention there's nothing beyond that first page of the forum. If you click the general categories link, nothing is there.

From what version are you upgrading? Or is this a first install?

[EG]

the link to the boards and images mentions a directory /forum2

e.g. http://dccatholicschool.net/forum2/Themes/babylon/images/off.gif
http://dccatholicschool.net/forum2/index.php?board=1.0

but the forum is actually linked to /forum

I would check the general path set for the forum itself in Server Settings in the admin panel and also  the theme paths in the adminpanel for a start.

Thank you! I will do that!

I upgraded from RC1 to RC2. I had server issues and used an unused database to upload a fresh installation and called it forum2. When I discovered that smf was not the issue, I then deleted it, or so I thought. I just went into my cPanel and deleted that forum2 database and now I am back to nothing.

I'm a little confused. Upload repair_settings.php (Downloads => tools) and verify everything is correct.

I tried that. It didn't work. I gave up and deleted both databases/installations and reinstalled a new one. Now to start the board over..... 

ETA: I did upload a new installation of 1.05 and upgraded to RC2 without a hitch!

I'm sorry this happened. Hope you have more luck with this install.  You don't have a backup of your previous database anymore?

I have a backup but I have no idea what to do with it.

[xenovanis]

Did you make this backup before or after you upgraded? In other words, is it a backup of your 1.0.5 or 1.1RC2 forum?

Before. I found a restore backup tool in my cpanel and now it's really messed up.

That doesn't look like a backup? How large was your forum before this happened?

Try uploading all files from the 1.0.5 installationpackage again, except for Settings.php and Settings_bak.php. No need to run install.php.

not very large. I'm about ready to throw in the towel.

Don't do that  If you are willing to send me your ftp-details, login to your server and phpMyAdmin I will take a look. Also, email me you're databasebackup.
