Are you receiving any errors in your error log?
Forum Error Log

[ekfaysal]

in forum maintanance it shows no error found when i click find and repair errors

[Rumbaar]

Are you able to receive any mail at all from your forum?  Or is it just announcements/newsletters?

ie notifications, PM notifications or password reminder mails, etc.

[ekfaysal]

yes right
i cannot send any notification etc too
it shows no error but emails not recievd

[Rumbaar]

What are the settings you are using for mail? phpmail() or SMTP.

Try alternate ways and see from the current settings you have.  Did it ever work?

[ekfaysal]

sorry
but how to check that option

[wmcintosh]

Admin > Server Settings > click Feature Configuration tab.

Oops, wasn't thinking when posting this, thats how its on 1.1.5, no idea on 2.x

[greyknight17]

Under Maintenance, go to Mail > Mail Settings tab to check your email settings.

Was this setting ever working at all in the past?

[ekfaysal]

it is php default
and i beleive it was working for me in past
not now

[Rumbaar]

Have you had words with your host then?  They might have disabled or turned of phpmail without telling you, I know of hosts that operate like this.

Alternately you can try SMTP and see if that works for you, just make sure you put in 100% correct details.

[ekfaysal]

SMTP  option is not working too

[Rumbaar]

SMTP will/should always work if correct.

What mail server are you trying to use?  What is the errors you are getting in your log when it's trying to send mail?

[ekfaysal]

i cant see any error generated by my user in error log
there are errors but generated by Otherz

[Rumbaar]

Well you should see an error relating to not being able to send mail or problem sending mail, with maybe an error code other other details.  The forum is trying to send the mail, so it might not be linked to a user.

these are the errors but i dont understand all these

[Rumbaar]

Well there isn't a line 865 normally in that file, and I'm not sure what might be calling it to speculate.  So will try to find the true source.

This is an eval error too, the error might not even be in that file.

You'll have to disable template eval temporarily to get the real file and error line.

To do this, run this query in PHPmyAdmin (What is phpMyAdmin?)

Code Select Expand

INSERT INTO smf_settings VALUES ('disableTemplateEval', 1);
Once that's done, get the error again and copy it (the file and line may have changed), then run this query to re-enable it:

Code Select Expand

DELETE FROM smf_settings WHERE variable = 'disableTemplateEval';

[ekfaysal]

i have executed the query
then tried

now this is error

[Rumbaar]

Yeah that file doesn't normally have that many lines either.  Please attach yours.  Also list your installed mods, and even mods you've installed but removed.  I assume this might be due to code left over from a mod or incorrectly installed mod.

i have recently removed pretty url mod

[ekfaysal]

Hey
another thing i have just noticed

When i go to forum maintanance-Routine:

Find and repair any errors.

Then it shows this messg

The following errors are fouling up your forum:
Message #31380 is in non-existent topic #0.
Topic #6279 contains no (actual) messages.
The subject of topic #6279 is currently not stored in the subject cache.

Would you like to fix these errors?
Yes - No

when i click yes it says

Duplicate entry '31380-41' for key 2
File: /home/dreamsma/public_html/Sources/RepairBoards.php(317) : runtime-created function
Line: 19

Note: It appears that your database may require an upgrade. Your forum's files are currently at version SMF 2.0 Beta 3.1 Public, while your database is at version 2.0 Beta 3 Public. The above error might possibly go away if you execute the latest version of upgrade.php.

any help

[Rumbaar]

Yeah that file doesn't normally have that many lines either.  Please attach yours.

You haven't attached the file, do this via the attachment feature.

[ekfaysal]

Sorry i forgot that time
im facing lots of errors these days

[Rumbaar]

Well looks like you've installed mods that haven't been written for SMF 2.0, as it's using $txt[] strings from 1.1.x

Change $txt[302] to $txt['newmessages3'], but I'm sure you'll have a lot more if you've installed mods that aren't written for 2.x

[ekfaysal]

some days back i did by mistake
i dont remember which one

[Rumbaar]

Well if you can't remember, this is little hope we'll know

You'll have to try and remember, then remove / alter the code it's put into your forum.  I'm sure this is the source or one of the sources of all your errors. You have to be very mindful when much such changes.

[ekfaysal]

i m fed up with the errors now
it shows my langauge files are not updated..

i think there is only one solution i must go for

Backup my database, attachments, smileys, avatars etc,,,
then i hav to remove all my forum,, then i will install new fresh one,, then upload database again,, then restore everything

u suggest is this tha last option for me?

[Rumbaar]

Well if it's unmanageable to troubleshoot and identify the incorrect code added by using mods not compatible with your version of SMF, then I would say yes.

Just be very mindful in the future to only install mods compatible with your SMF version, though I don't understand how you were able too.  As the mod should have indicated errors and/or not even proceeded with the installation due to conflict of versions.

[ekfaysal]

Hey
i have done what you said
replaced $txt[302] to $txt['newmessages3'],

now please tell me installing new forum and then importing my database via phpmyadmin can solve my this problm or not

Duplicate entry '31380-41' for key 2
File: /home/dreamsma/public_html/Sources/RepairBoards.php(317) : runtime-created function

Note: It appears that your database may require an upgrade. Your forum's files are currently at version SMF 2.0 Beta 3.1 Public, while your database is at version 2.0 Beta 3 Public. The above error might possibly go away if you execute the latest version of upgrade.php.

[Rumbaar]

Well if you have a db issue, then moving it to a new forum might result in your moving that error to the new forum.  Thus not fixing the error.

[ekfaysal]

how to solve this database issue

[Rumbaar]

Well it seems to tie in with your previous maintenance and issue with message (Message #31380 is in non-existent topic #0. )

Try to search your message table for the duplicate entries and remove the incorrect/duplicate one.  Be sure to backup first.

[ekfaysal]

sorry i dont know
can u please tell me in detail

[Rumbaar]

Go into your phpMyAdmin, select the messages table and search for instances of that ID number.  But what is the best course of action once you've found them, I'm not too sure.
